You can do anything if you have passion

Rishab Shetty, hardly anyone would remember that name before watching Kantara, that name which told an amazing story of a journey from small jobs to building worth 332 crores. To make ends meet he did everything from selling tea to marketing solar power but he had the passion to do something big and he did it too. Today the trailer of Kantara Chapter 1 has been released which proves that if you have the passion to do something then no one can stop you.

A passion for listening to stories that was greater than any difficulty.

When someone wants to achieve something big, he fights all the difficulties of the world and achieves his position, sometimes selling water cans on the streets of Mumbai and even having to sell tea to run the life, without any godfather or backup plan, just life goes on and the dream remains alive. Then that day came when “Kantara” resonated in the cinemas and earned 332 crores.

When dreams come true, struggles don’t seem small.

The film, which earned record profits on the basis of its excellent storyline and superb acting, had neither any big star nor any big publicity, just the dream which was the voice of millions of Indians who walk on the path of hard work and do not look for shortcuts, then came that moment when the dream came true and shook the Indian cinema from within.
