Shah's take on film
Praising the film, Shah said, "I have just seen Kantara. After seeing Kantara, I came to know that this state is of such rich traditions. There are very few areas in the country where people make the country prosperous by farming despite the adverse situation."
Kantara has been a rage since its release and is bankrolled by Hombale Films.
