After the massive success and widespread acclaim in the theatre, the much-talked-about blockbuster, Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1, starring Rishab Shetty , is set for its world TV premiere. The movie that became one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2025 and the top-grossing Kannada film of the year is sure to glue the fans to the TV screens.



The story revolves around Berme, played by Rishab Shetty, the fierce protector of the tribal lands, as he navigates conflicts between royal ambitions, ancestral faith, and the divine forces of nature. Princess Kanakavathi, played by Rukmini Vasanth, adds emotional depth, while the ruthless King Kulashekhara (Gulshan Devaiah) drives the central clash of power and belief. With stunning visuals of divine possessions, intense rituals, high-octane action sequences, and a soul-stirring narrative, the film is sure to touch hearts and ignite the spirit of the telly audience.



Written and directed by the actor himself, Rishab Shetty has once again proved his genius after creating the sensational original Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1, which is a gripping prequel that takes audiences back to the Kadamba dynasty era, exploring the origins of the sacred Bhuta Kola traditions and the mystical guardians of the Kantara forest.



The world TV premiere of the movie is scheduled this Saturday, January 24, at 6 PM. Viewers can catch the movie on Zee Telugu.
