This is a brilliant scene from #kantara where the Diety screams in the ear of the hero and takes possession of him. That's what needs to happen to us Hindus. When we take the Roudra Avatar of our dieties,no terrorist,evangelist or Marxist will dare touch us. pic.twitter.com/dr1NWI089V
Adding to the bandwagon, Kangana Ranaut who recently watched the movie showered praises on Kantara and Rishab Shetty. She also echoed the voice of the fans and said that the film should be sent for Oscars. She added she watched the movie in theatres with her family and it was an explosive experience.
Now Rishab Shetty has reacted to Kangana Ranaut's comment.
He said that he is happy that the story of his village is being loved by people. "As soon as I got her (Kangana) message, I shared it on my Instagram Stories and tagged her as well. It feels nice to get praise for a rooted, regional film. I always used to think more regional is more universal. This is the story of my village which I am presenting to the world. It is being loved across the globe. People are talking elements like about our beliefs, tradition, culture, ritual, way of life. As a writer, I feel happy," he told Filmibeat.com.

For the unversed, Kangana Ranaut took to Instagram to write about Kantara, "I feel #Kantara should be India's entry to Oscar next year, I know year is yet to end and there may be better films coming, but more than Oscar India needs the right representation globally... this land of mysteries and Mystics one can't understand one can only embrace it .... India is like a miracle... if you try and make sense of it you will only get frustrated but if you surrender to the miracle you can also be one .... Kantara is an experiential reality which world must experience .. @rishabshetty77."
