Kantara… last 20 mins will take your breath out. Rishab at his best… or should I say THE GULIGA himself personified in him. You wouldn’t have seen anything like this in Indian cinema…

Went to the #Kantara premier trusting The Director @shetty_rishab but came out as a die hard Fan of “The Actor” Rishab. That last 15-20 mins had one of the best performances ever by an Indian Actor. Come on Kannadigas and Namma Tuluvas let’s make this Masterpiece a Blockbuster pic.twitter.com/Tzske7gDng
