Risabh Shetty wraps up shooting for Kantara Chapter 1
The makers, Hombale Films, announced the wrap-up on Instagram with a new poster for the film.
Along with the poster, they added a caption that read, "Wrap Up... The Journey Begins..."
"#KantaraChapter1 has been a divine journey, deeply rooted in our culture, brought to life with unwavering dedication, relentless hard work, and incredible team spirit. Can't wait to see you all in theatres on October 2nd, as this legendary tale unfolds on the big screen worldwide..." it added.
Earlier this month, the makers also shared a special birthday poster for Rishab Shetty, who turned 42. In the poster, Shetty is seen holding a battle axe and a shield, giving a glimpse of his powerful role in the film.
Rishab Shetty, who also directs the film, gained wide recognition for 'Kantara,' which released in 2022 and became a pan-India success. He played the lead role in the film and also won the National Award for Best Actor.
On receiving the honor, Shetty told ANI earlier, "This has been possible because of my entire team. I am just the face of the film; it is all because of their hard work. The production house, the DOP, the technicians--it's all because of them."
Set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, 'Kantara' followed the character of Shetty, who portrayed a Kambala champion who had a faceoff with an upright Forest Range Officer. Kantara also won the 'Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment' award.
'Kantara Chapter 1' is set to hit theatres on October 2. (ANI)

This Bollywood actor was once rejected for being ‘too good looking', now runs ₹100 cr skincare brand, fitness studios
Bollywood is filled with insiders and outsiders. While unarguably, it is a tad bit easier to make a debut and shine with the right connections and filmy family ties, this one outsider made it big despite having no industry backing. In fact, she hailed from a completely different background. An engineer by qualification, she made her debut opposite Tiger Shroff, son of actor Jackie Shroff, in Heropanti (2014) and quickly rose to fame. However, success didn't come to her easily. After facing several rejections, including ones where she was told she was 'too good-looking' to be an actor, she braved it all and eventually bagged a National Award. Today, she is the proud owner of a ₹ 100 crore skincare brand and manages several fitness studios. The outsider in Bollywood who defied all odds is Kriti Sanon. Today, Kriti is one of the most popular female actors in the industry, who has worked alongside industry legends like Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in Dilwale (2015). Over the years, she delivered multiple box office hits such as Bareilly Ki Barfi, Luka Chuppi, and Housefull 4. She won the prestigious National Film Award for her acclaimed performance in Mimi (2021). She was last seen in Do Patti. While Kriti's journey is truly commendable, she had to audition multiple times before landing her debut role. Talking about rejections, she once told Hindustan Times in 2017, "There were days when I was annoyed and irritated. On some days, I used to cry, because there was nothing to keep me busy. There were also times when I met a few people who told me that something was not right about me — someone told me, 'You're too good-looking. There has to be some sort of imperfection in you to look real on screen.' I think I did feel low, but at the same time, I did have people who believed in me a lot. That's what you need. I think that gave me a little more confidence.' Not just films, Kriti is also a smart investor and among the new businesswomen in town. Kriti launched her own skincare brand, Hyphen, in 2023. Being an actor, Kriti, who is surrounded by makeup and beauty products, once told NDTV, "I'm a skin nerd; I really got into skincare during the Covid lockdown.' She co-founded the brand with PEP Technologies, the company behind the popular brand mCaffeine. Hyphen earned ₹ 100 crore in just its first years, as per Forbes. Hyphen is clashing big with other celebrity brands like Katrina Kaif's Kay Beauty, Mira Rajput's Akind and more. While many might think that Kriti entered her entrepreneurial era with Hyphen, she was already into business with her fitness venture, The Tribe. Launched in 2022, The Tribe was inspired by the role in Mimi, where she portrayed a pregnant woman. For the role, Kriti had gained around 15 kg. With gyms shut during COVID, Kriti struggled to return to her shape. 'I gained 15 kgs and I didn't know what to do,' she told Raj Shamani. Later, she connected with four trainers and managed to lose all the weight by working out virtually in her room. Her experience sparked the idea of creating a fitness brand, which we know now as The Tribe. Kriti opened the first The Tribe fitness studio in 2022 in Mumbai's Juhu area. Following its success, she launched a second studio in Bandra in 2024, further expanding her brand. Besides this, Kriti also has her own production house, Blue Butterfly Films, which she launched in 2023. In fact, her last film was backed by her production banner. Kriti Sanon has also made some major investments in real estate. As per a Moneycontrol report, the actor has moved into a lavish apartment in Sandhu Palace, a premium building located in Mumbai's Bandra area. She is reportedly paying a monthly rent of ₹ 17 lakh, which totals nearly ₹ 2 crore annually. She recently purchased a 2,000 sq ft plot in Alibaug in 2024, worth over ₹ 2 crore. It is a seaside property, a part of a high-end project that also includes a 10,000 sq. ft. plot owned by Amitabh Bachchan. According to multiple reports, Kriti Sanon's net worth is currently estimated to be around ₹ 82 crore as of last year.

Nervous About Shooting a 'Suhaagraat' Song While speaking on a podcast with Pinkvilla, Suniel shared that he was initially nervous about filming the 'suhaagraat' song To Chalun in Border (1997). However, once director JP Dutta narrated the track to him, Shetty knew only Dutta could handle it with such sensitivity. He called it the most memorable shoot of his career, praising the way it was beautifully filmed. Shetty also recalled a key moment during the shoot of To Chalun when the team was unsure how to portray the soldier's emotional farewell to his wife. As they discussed the scene, a MIG fighter jet flew overhead. That powerful visual gave director JP Dutta the clarity he needed, and he immediately knew how to frame the shot, Shetty revealed. Patriotism at the Core of the Scene Explaining how the scene unfolded, Suniel said that as his character looks up at the sky, the sound of the MIG symbolizes the ever-present call of duty. The soldier, reminded of his responsibilities, marches forward without looking back—reinforcing Border's central message that the nation comes above everything else. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo A Father's Worry Behind the Scenes He also recalled a personal moment that made the shoot even more unforgettable.

Throughout the shoot, he kept calling to check if she had reached safely and was receiving proper care. He admitted he'll never forget that stressful night until he got confirmation from his wife Mana that Athiya was fine and under a doctor's care.
