Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1 blends ritual and rage in new poster
The poster is filled with many symbolic elements. It's rich in detail, full of fire, animals, weapons, and sacred signs, making it feel both mythological and raw.
At the centre is Rishab Shetty, covered in mud and sweat, caught mid-leap, as if rising from ground. His chest is guarded by a dented shield, and in his hand is a blood-stained axe. A bright red streak glows across his forehead, and his eyes burn with divine energy — a look that captures a warrior, a seer, and a wild spirit all at once.
