News India Live, Digital Desk: After the unmatched success of ‘Kantara’, now everyone’s eyes are on its pre -Kantara Chapter 1. The way Rishabh Shetty wrote and directed the first film, he surprised everyone. There is also tremendous enthusiasm about this new film. There is a lot of discussion among the audience about the film’s action, brilliant visuals and strong acting of Rishabh Shetty. People have also liked the trailer of the film very much. In such a situation, there is a natural curiosity that what is the budget of such a big film and how much its stars have charged.
According to different media reports, the budget of ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ is being said to be Rs 125 crore. The previous film was made for less money, but this time the makers have left no stone unturned to make it more grand. Now if we talk about the fees of lead actor and director Rishabh Shetty, then an interesting thing has come out here. Many reports are saying that Rishabh Shetty has charged around Rs 100 crore for this film! At the same time, some other reports also say that they have not charged any fees in the beginning, but have opted for a share in the profit of the film and have also invested money in it, as often have been doing big actors like Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan. Whatever the way, it is really a huge amount that includes them among the most expensive stars of Indian cinema.
It is also being said that Rishabh Shetty’s fees are so high that the remuneration of the rest of the artists seems much less than that. There are reports of Rukmini Vasant about Rs 3 crore, Saptami Gowda Rs 2 crore and Gulshan Devaiya and Jairam Rs 1-1 crore. It is clear that Rishabh Shetty has really finalized a big deal as an actor, director and writer.
‘Kantara Chapter 1’ is expected to be released in theaters on 2 October 2025. The film will be released in many languages like Kannada as well as Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali and even English.
