`Kantara` captured the hearts of the audience with a story inspired by the divinity of the boar-faced Panjurli Daiva.

The action thriller went on to achieve sleeper hit status in the box office. To thank the Daiva and seek the divine being`s blessings, actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty, and Vijay Kirgandur, founder of the production house Hombale Films, offered prayers at a Bhoota Kola festival somewhere in Karnataka.
