Kantara (transl. Mystical Forest) is a 2022 Indian Kannada-language action thriller film[20][21] written and directed by Rishab Shetty, and produced by Vijay Kiragandur,[22] under Hombale Films. The film stars Rishab Shetty in a dual role with Kambala champion who is at loggerheads with an upright forest officer, Murali (played by Kishore).

Set and filmed in Keradi in coastal Karnataka, principal photography began in August 2021.[23] The cinematography was handled by Arvind S. Kashyap, with B. Ajaneesh Loknath scoring music for the film and the action sequences were choreographed by the action director Vikram More. The production design was handled by debutant, Dharani Gange Putra.

The film was released on 30 September 2022 to critical acclaim, with praise for its cast performances (particularly those of Shetty and Kishore), direction, soundtrack, and the portrayal of Bhuta Kola. It was a major commercial success and emerged as the second highest-grossing Kannada film of all time after K.G.F: Chapter 2, released the same year. It was also 2022's fourth highest-grossing film in India. A prequel called Kantara: Chapter 1 has been announced. Kantara was featured at the 54th IFFI Indian panorama section,[24] where it won the Silver Peacock - Special Jury Award.[25] During the promotion of his latest film as a producer, Rishab Shetty mentioned that the Kannada version alone attracted an audience of 1.25 crore in Karnataka.
