Kantara is an action thriller starring Rishab Shetty in the lead role and also features Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda, Kishore, Pramod Shetty, among others. The film follows a group of people from the Guliga/Kshetrapala community who give up one of their deities for protection in return for some land which had been offered to them by Rajasekhar (Rajesh), the descendant of their former king. However after years go by they face Rajasekhar who wishes to take back what he gave them- namely the land- but when he tries, Rajasekhar faces consequences that were not originally part of the agreement because this deity has become so protective over its territory now.
