With Kannada movie `Kantara` scoring big at the box office and taking other markets by storm, the southern film industry continues its winning streak in the pan-India market. But what sets `Kantara` apart from other recent southern blockbusters like `Pushpa` or `RRR`, is its refreshing take on the age-old conflict between man and nature. "The human-nature conflict is present all over the world. This conflict is present ever since humans appeared on the scene. This is what I set out to tell," the movie`s director and lead actor Rishab Shetty told IANS.
