After the humongous success of Kantara in 2022, Rishab Shetty announced the film's prequel. Titled Kantara Chapter 1, it will explore the secrets of the divine land from Tulunadu. Amid the craze for the thriller, the makers released the first look poster along with an intriguing teaser. 

The teaser begins with Rishab's Shiva running in a forest when a ring of fire surrounds him. A divine voice says, "Light. Everything is visible in light. But this is just not light." As he looks up at the moon, the voice continues saying, "It's vision. Vision that shows us what is, what was, and what will be tomorrow. Can you see it?"
