The film industry was left in shock following the tragic and untimely death of Kapil, a young artist working on Kantara: Chapter 1. The Kerala-born junior artist reportedly drowned in the Souparnika river in Kollur, Udupi district, after the day’s shoot had wrapped. The Kollur Police have launched an investigation, while the film crew has expressed deep sorrow over the incident, mourning the loss of a promising young talent.
Kantara: Chapter 1 has already been surrounded by controversy. Earlier, residents of Heruru village in Karnataka raised strong objections against the crew, accusing them of environmental damage, including the use of explosives in ecologically sensitive areas. Despite these challenges, the original Kantara was a massive box office success, and anticipation for its prequel—slated for release in 2025—is high. Directed, written by, and starring Rishab Shetty, the film remains one of the most awaited projects in Indian cinema.
Tragedy seems to have cast a shadow over the film’s production. In a separate incident, a bus carrying several young performers capsized in Kollur, leaving crew members injured. Additionally, bad weather damaged a large portion of the costly film set. Yet, the most heartbreaking blow came with the loss of Kapil—a young life with immense potential, gone too soon.
The entire Kantara team is reeling from the grief, and a formal statement is expected in the coming days as the investigation continues. For now, the film community and fans alike mourn this devastating loss and hope for safer, smoother days ahead for the production.
