The Kannada film Kantara, directed by Rishab Shetty, has been very successful and has brought a lot of attention to Kannada cinema, especially after the hit KGF series. However, the movie is currently in the news for unfortunate reasons.
Recently, the film faced heartbreak as two actors associated with it have passed away. The latest news is about Rakesh Poojary, a talented actor who was well-known after winning Comedy Kiladigalu Season 3. Rakesh died from a heart attack on Sunday during a mehendi ceremony in Nitte, near Udupi. He had just finished filming for Kantara and was enjoying a wedding event when tragedy struck. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, he could not be saved.
This comes only days after the death of a junior artist, who tragically drowned while swimming in a river during a break. Both incidents were not linked to the filming of Kantara, but they have cast a shadow over the movie, which is now in the news for all the wrong reasons.
Fans and the film community are mourning the loss of these talented individuals. The fame brought by Kantara is now mixed with sorrow due to these sad events.
