Rishab Shetty’s latest Kannada hit film ‘Kantara’ was initially offered to late actor Puneeth Rajkumar. The director in a recent interview narrated the story as he said, ‘It all happened in a blink of an eye. Soon after I narrated the story to him (Puneeth), he got very excited about the project. He wanted to explore different stories. But, his other projects continued to keep him away from ‘Kantara’. One day, he called me and asked me to go ahead with the film without him. He told me that if I waited for him, I may not be able to do the film that year.’ Puneeth Rajkumar passed away in October 2021. For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
