Filmmaker-producer Anand Gandhi, who is known for his films like 'Ship of Theseus', 'An Insignificant Man' and 'Tumbbad', has said that the Kannada sensation movie 'Kantara' celebrates toxic masculinity and narrow-mindedness.

As Rishab Shetty's Kannada film Kantara released on OTT, filmmaker Anand Gandhi finally watched the film that was being compared to the likes of his film Tumbbad. The director took to Twitter to share his reaction and he maintained the film is far from his movie. “Kantara is nothing like Tumbbad. My idea behind Tumbbad was to use the horror as an allegory of toxic masculinity and parochialism. Kantara is a celebration of these,” he wrote.

Anand Gandhi reportedly said Irrfan and he drove to Pune once and became friends over the years. They explored the possibility of his presence in ‘Tumbbad’ before the final script and schedule changed things.

Filmmaker Anand Gandhi firmly closes the door on a Tumbbad sequel, stating his creative vision for the cult classic is complete. He emphasizes his commitment to offering audiences novel experiences rather than rehashing past successes. Gandhi's forward-thinking approach blends familiar emotions with complex, contemporary themes like AI and inequality, aiming for accessible yet profound storytelling.
