With the release of Kantara: Chapter 1, the makers have also confirmed that a third installment in the film will also be made. As reported by Bollywood Hungama, the title of the upcoming part has been revealed at the end of Chapter 1. The third installment in the franchise will be titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/regional-cinema\/kantara-chapter-1-rishab-shetty-film-leaked-falls-prey-to-piracy-websites-ws-l-9610455.html\">\u2018Kantara: A Legend \u2013 Chapter 2\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Kantara, which was released in 2022, was set in 1990. Kantara: A Legend \u2013 Chapter 1, which released on Friday (October 2) is set more than a thousand years before the events of the former. Therefore, it is a prequel to Kantara.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">It was in 2023 that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/reviews\/kantara-chapter-1-review-rishab-shetty-delivers-a-killer-climax-film-hinges-on-music-and-visuals-ws-l-9610138.html\">Rishab Shetty<\/a> announced that what the audience saw was actually part 2 and therefore, what will be released next will be Kantara\u2019s prequel. \u201cWe are very pleased and thankful to the audience who had shown immense love and support to Kantara and taking the journey ahead, with the blessing of almighty Daiva the film has successfully completed 100 days and I would like to take this opportunity to announce the prequel of Kantara. What you have seen is actually Part 2, Part 1 will come next year,&#8221; he had said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Kantara: Chapter 1 is set in the Kadamba period in Karnataka. The Kadambas were significant rulers of parts of Karnataka and played a major role in shaping the architecture and culture of the region. That period was known to be a Golden Period of Indian History.<\/p>\n<h4>Is Kantara: Chapter 1 Worth Watching?<\/h4>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Kantara: Chapter 1 has been getting mixed reviews from the audience and critics. News18 Showsha gave this movie a 3.5-star rating. \u201cIs Kantara: Chapter 1 a National Award-worthy instalment in the franchise? I don\u2019t think so. But should you still watch it? Absolutely. Despite some forgivable flaws, the film is a visual treat, and the second half will surely leave you jaw-dropped. Kantara: Chapter 1 is Rishab Shetty\u2019s attempt at amalgamating Indian folklore with mainstream cinema, and this he does well,&#8221; a part of our review read.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chirag Sehgal\" title=\"Chirag Sehgal\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-05-at-13.17.10-2025-08-d1b003764b221e1094919969068b8f2b-scaled.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/chirag-sehgal-21023.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Chirag Sehgal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chirag Sehgal works as a Senior Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18.com.
