Kantara Chapter 1 Makers Urge Not To Imitate Devotional Characters

The makers of Rishab Shetty's Kantara Chapter 1 have issued a heartfelt appeal to fans, urging them to refrain from imitating Daiva characters from the film. This comes after a video surfaced on social media showing a fan dressed as a Daiva entering a theater in Tamil Nadu, and others performing scenes from the film outside the cinema hall. The makers, Hombale Films, respectfully request that fans avoid imitating Daiva characters, as this can deeply hurt the religious sentiments of the Tulu community.

The film's creators emphasize that Dhaivaradhane is a profound symbol of faith and cultural pride within Tulunadu, Karnataka. The Kantara series was made to respectfully portray this devotion and celebrate the glory of the Daivas. The makers have strived to ensure that the profound respect and unwavering devotion central to Dhaivaradhane are honored, successfully spreading the significance and heritage of the Tulu soil with the world.

The makers have observed that certain individuals have been imitating the Daiva characters from the movie and engaging in inappropriate behaviour in public spaces and gatherings. They claim that such acts can trivialize the belief system and deeply hurt the religious sentiments and faith of the Tulu community. Hombale Films makes a strong and sincere appeal to the public and audiences to refrain from any act that involves imitating, mimicking, or trivializing the Daiva personas.

The makers urge all citizens to recognize the spiritual importance of these portrayals and act responsibly; ensuring that the devotion celebrated in the film is never compromised or treated lightly. They appreciate the continued support and cooperation in preserving the sanctity of this invaluable cultural heritage. By respecting the cultural significance of Dhaivaradhane, fans can help promote a positive and respectful appreciation of the film and its themes.
