The makers of director and actor Rishab Shetty's eagerly awaited Kannada language pan-India film ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ have now chosen to cancel the pre-release event of the film that was to be held in Chennai on Tuesday. The decision to cancel the event comes in the wake of the terrible stampede that took place at Karur , which resulted in the loss of 41 lives.

Hombale Films, the production house that is producing the film, took to its X timeline to announce its decision. It wrote, "Due to the recent unfortunate incident, we are cancelling the #KantaraChapter1 promotional event in Chennai tomorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to meeting our audience in Tamil Nadu at a more appropriate time. #KantaraChapter1onOct2."
