Boat Capsized On Kantara Sets: Is Everyone Safe?

Kantara is one of the super successful movies in the nation, and ever since the film’s prequel was announced, the project seems to be catching some ‘dishti.’ After a couple of deaths associated with the film unit are reported, there is a new development about a boat getting capsized in the backwaters of the Mani reservoir on Saturday night. The incident received widespread attention, and the team also responded to the same.

Hombale Films Executive Producer Adarsh has stated that there were no crew members on the boat when the mishap happened.

“The film’s shoot was underway in the Mani backwaters. The ship capsized due to strong winds and rain. None of our team was around it. Our shooting was going on at a distance. No one was injured,” revealed Adarsh, condemning the speculations that many crew members, including Rakshit, were present on the set.

Earlier, a 55-year-old mimicry artist who was a part of the film died of a heart attack while staying at a homestay in Agumbe. Last month, Kannada actor-comedian Rakesh Poojary died of cardiac arrest at a wedding. Another junior artist, MF Kapil, drowned in the Souparnika river after being caught in a strong current.

Directed by Rishab Shetty, Kantara: Chapter 1 is slated for release on October 2, 2025.
