Kantara Chapter 1 pre-sales in US: Rishab Shetty-starrer registers..., Yash’s film manages to...

Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 has impressed fans with its trailer. The movie is one of the most awaited films of the year and continues to engage fans with its captivating and fun storytelling. However, the advance sales for the film in the USA are currently slow and are expected to pick up pace after the trailer drops. As of now, the movie is lagging significantly in USA pre-sales; it has managed to register just 17% of KGF Chapter 2's pre-sales numbers. For the premiere in the USA, Yash's film had pre-sales of $532K for the premiere day, while Rishab Shetty's film has only 17% of these pre-sales.

It will be interesting to see if the film manages to boost the numbers after the trailer arrives . In the USA, the Kantara prequel has achieved only 4k ticket sales as of now . The film stars Rukmini Vasanth, Jayaram, Rakesh Poojari, Gulshan Devaiah, and Rishab Shetty in key roles. The official synopsis of the movie states, "Exploring the origins of Kaadubettu Shiva during the Kadamba dynasty era, it delves into the untamed wilderness and forgotten lore surrounding his past."

The trailer of the film is loved and lauded by the audience, and expectations are very high for the movie. In India, Kantara Chapter 1 will witness a box office clash with Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor's Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari. Both films will be released in theaters on October 2, 2025.
