The impact that the Kannada film Kantara has left on the audience is unmatched. The film was released across languages and found success everywhere. Some overenthusiastic movie lovers are imitating the primordial screams and also dressing up as Daiva in theatres. Team Kantara urges the audience to strictly avoid that as it is disrespecting the Almighty.

We do it for the cinematic experience and for the story’s emotional arc. But the concept of Daiva that we have brought into the film – that is not cinema for us.
