Step Into The Real-Life Setting Of Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Discover Kundapura’s Rivers, Beaches And Temples
Green screens have long been a staple in movies, especially for big action or fantasy sequences. But now many filmmakers are using real locations instead of relying on CGI. Kantara: Chapter 1, an epic mythological action film, is a perfect example of this.
Most of the movie was shot in Kundapura, a coastal town, which helped recreate the pre-colonial era of the Kadamba dynasty. Choosing real locations gave the film an authentic vibe. For anyone who enjoyed the film, a visit to Kundapura is like stepping into the world of Kantara, with beaches, temples and rivers waiting to be explored.

What Makes Kundapura Special?
Kundapura is about 36 km north of Udupi city along the Konkan coast and is known for its scenic rivers, temples and golden beaches. The town has its own unique Kannada dialect and serves as a hub for nearby villages.
Beaches of Kundapura
Kundapura has some beautiful beaches where you can just relax and enjoy the view:
Maravanthe Beach: This one's quite unique as the Souparnika River flows on one side and the Arabian Sea on the other. It is perfect for a walk, taking photos or enjoying a small picnic. And the best part is that it is usually not crowded.
