\r\nKantara Chapter 1 secrets revealed by Arjun Raj.Rishabh Shetty\'s Kantara Chapter 1 is generating tremendous interest as the film is the prequel to the hit film Kantara. The film is racing for a grand relase on 2 October 2025.\r\nIn the meantime, stunt choreographer Arjun Raj speaking to scribes, shared the secrets. He said &ldquo;My father wanted me to study and stay away from cinema. He had seen the injuries, the instability, the risks. But I was drawn to it. At first, I wanted to be an actor. He told me, &lsquo;Learn action, it will help you.&rsquo; I listened. Somewhere along the way, what was meant to be a stepping stone became my life.&rdquo;\r\nHe said &ldquo;I passed my 10th standard but didn&rsquo;t show much interest in academics. To support myself, I worked at a cafe while training in action on the side. I even went to Chennai to sharpen my craft. For a long time, my father didn&rsquo;t approve. He thought cinema wasn&rsquo;t safe. But action gave me an identity &mdash; and slowly, he became my biggest confidant.&rdquo;\r\nHe shared &ldquo;I wasn&rsquo;t part of the project in the beginning. This was a massive canvas, and honestly, I thought I might not enter that league. I was in Varanasi when I prayed to be part of something huge. A few days later, I got the call. Initially, they wanted me for just one sequence. Later, they handed me four. Call it destiny, call it divine blessing &mdash; it happened.&rdquo; Arjun choreographed four major sequences, while the duo of Ram-Lakshman handled one, and Hollywood stunt director Todor Lazarov contributed to the war scenes.\r\nHe added&nbsp; &ldquo;This story is set a thousand years ago. You can&rsquo;t just copy-paste from existing action films. Every move had to feel organic to that time. For instance, we had a massive carriage sequence. It wasn&rsquo;t just a prop; it was part of a high-speed chase involving Rishab and more than a thousand junior artists. That became the riskiest stunt I&rsquo;ve ever designed,\"\r\nHe revealed \"Then came a huge war sequence, the pre-climax, and the climax. &ldquo;If the carriage fight was the riskiest, the war sequence was the most emotionally charged,&rdquo; Arjun says. &ldquo;The pre-climax battle is my personal favourite. It wasn&rsquo;t just about swords clashing &mdash; it had emotion, loss, and triumph in every movement. The heartbeat of it all was Rishab&rsquo;s performance. Every fight was elevated because of his energy.&rdquo;\r\nHe pointed out &ldquo;We didn&rsquo;t use body doubles for Rishab. He performed bare-bodied, with a body language so distinct no dupe could replicate it. He trained in Kalaripayattu, sword fighting, and horse riding. Still, the risks he took was out of pure willpower. I&rsquo;ve worked with many actors, but Rishab doesn&rsquo;t stop at &lsquo;I&rsquo;ll try my best.&rsquo; He says, &lsquo;I&rsquo;ll do it till I am alive.&rsquo; That spirit changes everything.&rdquo;\r\n
