The fabricated poster, titled 'Kantara Sankalpa', urged audiences to take a pledge before watching the film on October 2 by abstaining from alcohol, smoking and non-vegetarian food. “The production house has no connection whatsoever with this poster. These are individual decisions,” he said, noting that he had immediately checked with the production house to confirm its authenticity. Meanwhile, on Monday, the much-anticipated trailer of 'Kantara: Chapter 1' was released, sparking renewed excitement following the massive success of the original Kantara in 2022. Produced by Hombale Films, 'Kantara: Chapter 1' is being billed as one of the studio’s most ambitious projects.
