The highly anticipated film Kantara has taken the Indian film industry by storm with its unique storytelling and gripping visuals.
However, behind the breathtaking scenes lies a remarkable feat of production: the creation of the expansive sets for the Kadamba Empire in Kantara : Chapter 1.

According to a source close to the film’s production, the makers faced a major challenge in finding a studio large enough to accommodate the massive sets required for the historical epic.
“The makers were unable to find a studio large enough to build the massive sets of the Kadamba Empire, leading them to construct one of India’s biggest studios in Kundapur for Kantara: Chapter 1,” revealed the insider.

Located in the coastal town of Kundapur, Karnataka, the sprawling studio set the stage for a stunning visual portrayal of the ancient empire. From intricate palace structures to vast landscapes, every corner of the set was designed with meticulous detail to immerse the audience in a world long gone.
The makers of Kantara: Chapter 1 recently unveiled yet another official poster from the film and the release date of the much-anticipated prequel. Kantara: Chapter 1 is a prequel to the 2022 blockbuster hit Kantara, directed and starring Rishab Shetty. The folklore thriller is all set for its prequel Kantara: Chapter 1 which is scheduled to release on October 2, 2025.
