Kantara Chapter 1 Rules: Kantara 1, directed and starring Rishabh Shetty, is one of the most viewed anticipations among South Indian movies to be released in the year 2025. The trailer recently released has exploited phenomenal excitement and expectation for its worldwide release come October 2, besides its grand visuals and culture-filled storytelling; it has a viral poster that has created a very unique wave of discussions among fans.
A poster, which was being circulated on social media, claimed that audiences must also adhere to “three divine rules” prior to watching Kantara Chapter:
-No Alcohol
-No Smoking
-Should Not Eat Meat
Viewers should follow them up to the time they go to the cinema to watch this film. And should even fill out a Google form for a participation certificate, this unusual requirement quickly went viral, sparking debates and memes alike.
However, since this poster went viral, many thought it was officially released by the film team. But Rishabh Shetty clarified that the poster was not coming straight from the makers. Rather it belonged to a campaign called Kantara Sankalpa, wherein audience members voluntarily pledge to these spiritual practices. Director made it clear that these rules are not mandatory, but rather symbolic as a reflection of the film’s cultural and spiritual essence.

Without a doubt, that poster has left a lot of people scratching their heads. But it has certainly cranked up the degree of word-of-mouth surrounding Kantara Chapter 1. Regardless of whether audience members adhere or do not adhere to the so-called divine rules. However, they would have to be rolling up and lining up at the theaters to watch it. Rishabh Shetty’s idea continues to touch the lives of fans by bringing together tradition, spirituality, and entertainment in a manner few films manage.
