Mumabi: Rishabh Shetty’s film ‘Kantara Chapter 1′ has become this year’s highest-grossing film. Fans have showered the film with immense love. But the actors’ hard work behind the scenes is far greater than what’s evident in their powerful dialogue delivery and screen presence.
A recent video of the film’s actor-director, Rishabh Shetty, proves that he put in a lot of effort to transform himself into not just one, but two characters.
Fans surprised to see him portray the old character of Mykara
Rishabh Shetty plays a double role in the film. While everyone already knew about his character in one role, he’s unrecognizable in the other. When fans saw him on screen as the older character Mykara, no one could believe it was Rishabh himself. Many were surprised to learn this, as he had undergone an amazing transformation to fit into the role. The makers have now shared a video of this remarkable transformation.
Makers shared the video
The makers of the film shared a BTS video in which Rishabh Shetty is getting his makeup done for the character of Mykara. It took Rishabh approximately 7-8 hours to achieve the look for this role, and he continued to do so for several days.
People praised the makeup team
Many people have commented on Rishabh Shetty’s transformation video. While some praised Rishabh’s commitment, many also commended the hard work of his makeup team. One user commented, “What dedication, sir!” I saw the film three times in the theater, but never recognized that you played that role. Salute to you, Sir.
Another user wrote, “Brother, I believe 99% of people thought someone else was playing the role of ‘Maikaara’. The level of acting was amazing, and salute to the makeup artists! I myself didn’t realize it until after returning from the theater, when I read about it somewhere and searched for it.”
Box Office Collection of ‘Kantara Chapter 1’
The film has become the highest-grossing film of the year. With a total collection of ₹808 crore, ‘Chava’ was the biggest Indian film of the year, but now ‘Kantara Chapter 1’ has broken that record. The film’s total worldwide collection has reached ₹809 crore, surpassing ‘Chava’.
