For Dosanjh, the project carries a personal connection. “With Big Brother @rishabshettyofficial — salute to this guy who made the masterpiece ‘Kantara,’” the singer-actor wrote. “I have a personal connection with this film which I can’t tell. But I remember when I was watching in the theatres, in the end when the song ‘Varaha Roopam’ played, I cried in so much ecstasy. Now ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’ is coming on October 2nd… Can’t wait to watch it in theaters.” He also thanked composer B. Ajaneesh Loknath, adding, “I learnt a lot from you yesterday.”
Rishabh Shetty, who stars in and directs the film, responded with equal enthusiasm: “Excited to join hands with Diljit Dosanjh for the Kantara album. By Shiva’s grace, everything fell into place. Much love, Paji. Another Shiva bhakt meets Kantara.”
