The Rishabh Shetty starrer film faced backlash after its OTT release; here’s what went wrong

Rishab Shetty’s Kantara has been dominating the box office and since its release, the film has been consistently earning big bucks. The thriller became the second highest-grossing Canadian film of the year. After its super successful run in theaters, Rishabh’s film has created a lot of controversy due to its OTT release. Yes, you read that right! Thaikkudam Bridge, a Kerala-based group recently claimed that the song Varaha Roopam used in the film featuring Risabh is a copy of their song Navarasam. They threatened to take legal action against Amazon Prime Video. After Thaikkudam Bridge’s legal action, the OTT platform removed the song from the film and also announced the same on its social media.
