Kangana reacts to Kantara Chapter 1

Kangana was responding to a social media user who shared a video showcasing the Dev culture of the Himalayas. The creator praised Rishab for depicting a similar tradition from the South. “What Kantara has shown is reality. Until I saw this movie, I wasn’t aware of South India, but believe me, everyone born in the Himalayas has felt and seen things beyond imagination. The Dev culture here is truly divine, and this movie beautifully shows the vastness of Hinduism and the deep connection people have with their local deities. Kudos to you @shetty_rishab sir for bringing such a marvellous project," wrote the creator while sharing the video.
