Rishab Shetty narrowly escapes boat mishap at Mani Dam reservoir during Kantara Chapter 1 shoot? Makers react
Actor Rishabh Shetty's Kantara 2, aka Kantara Chapter 1 continues to make news with its one after another incident on the sets. Recent reports have surfaced claiming that actor-director Rishab Shetty and his crew narrowly escaped a major accident during the shoot. Reportedly, they were filming in the Mani Dam reservoir in Karnataka. Reportedly, the incident happened when a boat carrying Rishab and more than 30 crew people capsized in the shallow water of the reservoir. It is said that all of them including the lead actor didn't sustain any injury. Reacting to it, the makers of Kantara Chapter 1 issued a statement. Denying any fatal accident on the sets, the executive producer Adarsh told The New Indian Express, 'No one was on the boat when it tipped over, and no accidents took place.' He said that the boat which was used as a backdrop, capsized due to strong winds and rain. However, no one was near it at the time when the incident took place. Adarsh added, "The Kantara shoot is happening in Mani reservoir. We had set up a ship for background visuals. On June 14, due to wind and rain, the ship tipped over. But our team members were not around it, and the actual shooting spot was away from that location. Everyone is safe, and shooting continues as planned.' He also assured that strict safety protocols have been put in place to ensure safety. 'We obtained all necessary permissions and had safety measures like speed boats, fishermen, swimmers, scuba divers, and life jackets on standby. We didn't shoot in the water,' he added. The executive producer also said, "Our cameras were safe, and if they had sunk, we wouldn't have been able to continue shooting. The police also inspected the area and confirmed that no mishap had occurred.' Kantara Chapter 1 also stars Jayaram, Kishore, Jayasurya and Jisshu Sengupta. It is a prequel to Rishabh's 2022 National Award-winning film Kantara, hence it is titled as Kantara Chapter 1, aka Kantara 2. The film is scheduled to release in theatrical on October 2, 2025. It is produced by Vijay Kiragandur and Chaluve Gowda under Hombale Films.

'No accidents took place': Kantara Chapter 1 makers dismiss boat capsizing accident on sets of Rishab Shetty's film
The makers of Kantara Chapter 1 have now issued a formal clarification on the latest news of a boat toppling over on the sets of the film. It was previously reported that Rishab Shetty, along with 30 other crew members, were on board when the vessel capsized, and they were able to escape unhurt. However, it turns out that there was no fatal accident at play on the sets of the film in the first place. Kantara Chapter 1 producer issues clarification on alleged boat accident According to a report by The New Indian Express, the executive producer of the movie, Adarsh JA, has sought to dispel the untrue rumors. He highlighted that there was no one on the boat when it toppled over inside the Mani Dam reservoirs. He added that the water vessel capsized due to strong winds and rain, and that there was absolutely no one around it when the incident occurred; therefore, there were no casualties. Moreover, Adarsh mentioned that the boat was a part of the background and not actively part of the film's shoot. He said, 'No one was on the boat when it tipped over, and no accidents took place,' he assured. Due to strong winds and rain, the ship set used as a backdrop had capsized, but since no one was near it at the time, there were no casualties or harm to the crew.' Kantara Chapter 1 shooting not halted, confirms producer The producer went on to clarify that reports stating the film's shooting came to a halt after the accident are incorrect. He reiterated that the incident occurred far away from the actual shooting spot and thus filming continued as per schedule. Assuring the safety of every actor, crew member, and everyone who's a part of the shoot, Adarsh remarked that all necessary permissions have been taken to shoot any kind of scene in water. Moreover, he assured the availability of safety gear at the shooting spot to prevent any mishaps that might occur. He added, 'But our team members were not around it, and the actual shooting spot was away from that location. Everyone is safe, and shooting continues as planned.' More about Kantara Chapter 1 Returning to the film, it is a prequel to the 2022 National Award-winning film Kantara. Rishab Shetty remains in the lead role for the movie, much like the sequel itself, which he also wrote and directed. Kanatar Chapter 1 is slated for a theatrical release on October 2, 2025.

Watch: Desi Mom's Clever Jugaad To Use Oil Till The Last Bit Is Too Relatable
Indian moms and their unmatched obsession with saving every bit of money to make a month's worth of groceries last have always been a fascinating topic. Their ability to manage the household so efficiently, often squeezing out extra savings from already tight budgets, is nothing short of remarkable. In today's climate of rising prices, who wouldn't want to master the art of making the most out of every grain, drop, and rupee? It's no surprise that their everyday hacks often go viral, turning ordinary moments into hilarious and heartwarming content. One such video comes from content creator Adarsh Gupta, who frequently features his mother, Sunita Gupta, in his clips. In a video on Instagram, Sunita is seen pouring oil from a packet into a container in her kitchen. She squeezes the packet to extract as much oil as possible, but she doesn't stop there. Sunita then cuts the packet on three sides and scrapes out every last bit of oil to pour into the same container. At this point, she believes there is still some oil residue left, which she wants to use down to the very last drop. Interestingly, after tightly closing the lid of the container, she takes the packet over to Adarsh. Finally, she rubs it on his hair and legs for maximum absorption of the remaining oil, leaving him completely shocked. View this post on Instagram A post shared by adarsh gupta (@adarshguptaofficial) Adarsh captioned the video, revealing what happened next: "Nahana pad gaya (Had to take a bath)," followed by two loudly crying face emojis. Soon, social media users began reacting to the hilarious yet relatable content. One user wrote, "You won't understand! Ghar chalana aasan nahi hai ji. (It is not easy to run a household.)" Another shared how this technique has been passed through generations: "Mummy mere saath karti thi, ab yeh jugaad hum apne beta ke saath karte hain. (Mom used to do this with me, now I do this jugaad with my son.)" "Hum middle-class family se hain." (We are from a middle-class family), said someone who found the video deeply relatable. Someone added, "Ho gayi na oiling ki oiling aur body lotion ka kaam bhi ho gaya." (Oiling is done, and it worked as body lotion too), while another commented,"Isko kehte hain optimum utilization of resources." (This is called optimum utilization of resources.) A social media user even coined a term for it: "Technologia." Meanwhile, another person wrote, "Now I am wondering why I didn't think of this. I mean, this is just perfect - approximately zero wastage of oil. Mind you, oils are pricey." So far, the video has garnered over 3.3 million views online.
