THIS Malyalam Superstar to Play Rishab’s Father in Kantara 2

Rishab Shetty’s much-anticipated movie, Kantara: Chapter 1, has sparked a lot of excitement, especially with rumors of legendary actor Mohanlal playing a pivotal role. The film is reportedly a prequel to the original Kantara and might feature Mohanlal as the father of Rishab Shetty’s character. Although this news has not yet been officially confirmed by the filmmakers, it has generated significant buzz among fans.

Earlier this year, Rishab Shetty and his wife Pragathi shared pictures with Mohanlal, which added to the speculation that the superstar might be part of this project. If Mohanlal joins the cast, it would undoubtedly create a huge sensation and elevate the film’s appeal even further.

Chapter 1 is set to explore the lore of the Panchurli Deiva, taking place during the Kadamba era. Ajaneesh Loknath, who composed the haunting music for the first installment, returns as the music director for this one as well.

The film is expected to be released either at the end of 2024 or in early 2025. Following its theatrical release, it will be available on Amazon Prime Video for streaming. The first movie, Kantara, was widely praised for its captivating storytelling, stunning visuals, and exploration of mythical folklore, setting a high bar for the prequel.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal is also working on his directorial debut with the film Barroz and is busy with other projects, including L2: Empuraan and the tentatively titled L360.

Mokshagna Balakrishna’s Grand Debut: A Pan-India Superhero Saga

Nandamuri Balakrishna’s son, Mokshagna, is finally set to make his highly anticipated cinematic debut. The film, slated for release around Dussehra, marks a significant milestone for the young actor and his family.

Produced under Balakrishna’s own production company, with his sister Tejaswini serving as producer, the project has garnered considerable attention. Rumored collaborations with other production houses further solidify its potential for success.

Balakrishna has demonstrated his unwavering support for his son by investing a substantial sum of ₹100 crores. This significant investment underscores the importance of the project and Balakrishna’s belief in Mokshagna’s talent.

The film will be directed by Prasanth Varma, known for his pan-India hit “Hanuman.” Set within the same cinematic universe, Mokshagna will portray a superhero inspired by mythological legends. The fantasy theme and pan-India appeal of the project necessitate a substantial investment in casting and crew.

While the high budget may raise concerns about the risks involved, it also reflects the immense potential that Balakrishna sees in his son. As Mokshagna embarks on this new chapter in his career, the anticipation and excitement surrounding his debut film are palpable. With Balakrishna’s unwavering support and a talented team behind him, Mokshagna has all the ingredients for a successful and memorable entry into the world of cinema.
