Rishab Shetty reveals he shot 'Kantara’s climax fight scene with both shoulders dislocated

Actor-filmmaker Rishab Shetty is currently basking in the success of his latest release ‘Kantara’. In a recent interview, he revealed that he shot for the intense action sequence in the climax with both his shoulders dislocated.

In a conversation with IMDB, Rishab opened up about the scene and mentioned that the sequence was very difficult because it was a single shot with 360-degree shots and a rain effect. ‘And it was difficult to carry water to that place. So, we asked villagers over there if we could draw water from the well there. The shoot went on for 6 to 7 days and we used the water from there. By the time, the shoot ended, the well’s water had finished. It was pretty hectic,’ he said.

‘While rehearsing for that scene, I had an issue with my shoulder. During one 360 degree shot, I dislocated my shoulder. While shooting another sequence the next day, I dislocated the other shoulder too. Both my shoulders were dislocated but I continued to shoot,’ he added.

‘Kantara’ is one of the biggest box office successes of the year and the film has earned over Rs 400 crore worldwide. It is also the highest-grossing film ever in Karnataka.

‘Kantara’ stars Rishab Shetty as a Kambala champion who is at loggerheads with an upright DRFO officer, Murali. The Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu versions of the film are set to release on Prime Video on Thursday, November 24.
