On being asked about his improved Hindi, the actor shared, "As for language, I would like to say that I think in Kannada, but after doing many interviews, I have developed a bit of Hindi as well. I have a great interest in learning every language, and I am happy about it because when we go to a place and speak there, we should not show disrespect to their language."

"In India, there are so many languages, so many lifestyles, and belief systems, but the core is the same. I try my best to make an effort to learn any language which I don't know," Shetty said in Hindi.

The trailer for 'Kantara: Chapter 1 was unveiled earlier this month.

Written and directed by Shetty, the film is scheduled to release on October 2, in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and English.
