In the 2022 film ‘Kantara’, Rishabh portrayed Panjurli, a ghost (a divine spirit of a male wild boar), known as the protector of righteousness and as Varaha, an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. Bhoot is a part of Kola. Talking about this in an interview, he said,
Those gods, they are all part of our tradition. It is part of Hindu culture and Hindu customs. Because I am a Hindu, I have faith and respect for my religion. But I would not say that others are wrong. What we have said is through that element which is present in Hinduism.”
She was criticized by netizens for portraying Panjurli as Varaha in the film. Later, in an interview, talking about how he went to rural coastal Karnataka to research the local legends and folklores in depth, so as not to hurt the religious beliefs of the people. he said,
I was watching a story about agricultural land in coastal Karnataka. But it’s not just land. Bhootkola, Daivardhane, our culture, our customs and beliefs are all part of that. Once the agricultural activities are over, it is marked as a festival for 3-4 months as it is a ritual. People who have left the village also return for it. The belief around it is so strong. This is a rule. I wanted to bring all that but I was not fully aware and aware about it. I didn’t want any problems. I didn’t want to hurt or hurt anyone. I spoke to people who performed these rituals. I asked him more about it and researched more about it just to be sure how to go about it. I spoke to people who performed these rituals.
