In an interaction with a leading daily, Rishab Shetty said he is yet to wrap his around the response the film has received. He wrote, “When I made the film, I did it without any expectations. On the first day, when the film was packed everywhere, I was happy. But on the third day, it hit us that the movie was going to surpass our expectations. Since then, Kantara has been released in multiple languages worldwide, including in places like Indonesia and Ho Chi Minh City. Even now, in rural villages, the movie continues to play to packed audiences. I really don’t know what to say. It is overwhelming. Though I have accepted it, I can’t seem to wrap my head around it,” he said.
