Rishab Shetty is one of the most popular and well-known actor-directors from Kannada cinema. He achieved pan-Indian recognition with his Kantara (2022). A prequel to that film, Kantara: Chapter 1, is in the works. As of now, the film is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Mohanlal has a history of playing cameo roles and even full-length roles in movies outside his home market. In April 2024, there were rumors that Rishab and Mohanlal were meeting to discuss a role for Mohanlal in Kantara: Chapter 1 as Rishab Shetty’s father.
So, when Mohanlal went to Bengaluru to promote L2: Empuraan, the question arose whether he was in Kantara: Chapter 1 or not. As per OTTPlay, the actor confirmed that, as of now, he is not part of the film by saying, “Please ask them to put me in Kantara 2. Give me a role. I am not a bad actor, I think.” He confirmed one thing by saying this: Mohanlal would like to play a character in Kantara: Chapter 1.

But now, the possibility of that happening is next to nonexistent because production is in its final stages, and Mohanlal has a busy schedule, making it challenging to find time. It’s not impossible, but it’s improbable. Mohanlal could make an appearance in the next installment of the Kantara franchise.
