Kantara Chapter 1: Netizens spot plastic water can in song, recall Game of Thrones blunder |
Rishab Shetty’s Kantara Chapter 1, the prequel to the 2022 blockbuster, has won huge praise and crossed Rs 500 crore in its first week. However, sharp-eyed fans noticed a funny goof-up — a 20-litre water can visible in the Brahmakalasha song’s community dining scene.
Goof-up compared to Game of Thrones ’ Starbucks mistake
As soon as the video started doing the rounds online, the goof-up sparked reactions, as plastic didn’t exist during the film’s 4th-century Kadamba dynasty setting. Many netizens compared the slip-up to Game of Thrones’ famous 2019 Starbucks cup mistake, where a modern coffee cup was accidentally left on set.
Social media reacts with humour
While one user, ‘I just learned that the Kadambas were the first to use plastic water cans #KantaraChapter1’, another one added, ‘Paid Partnership with Bisleri.’ A user also added, ‘Sad to see this miss because so much care and attention to detail is seen in the movie…’
“Didn’t know the Kadambas used plastic water cans @hombalefilms @shetty_rishab Great song, though,” wrote another. A user wrote, “GOT’s Starbucks moment in Kantara.” Another commented, “A honest mistake by editors here, it seems.” The makers have yet to react to the goof in the song.
Atlee praises Rishab Shetty’s brilliance
Earlier, in a conversation with India Today, Atlee shared that despite being abroad, he couldn’t resist catching Rishab Shetty’s much-awaited prequel. “I was in Amsterdam when the film was released. On day one, I watched it in theatres. I drove for about two and a half hours to the theatre to watch it. Immediately after, I called Rishab, who is a good friend of mine and someone I have great respect for,” Atlee said.He also shared that Rishab Shetty, for his performance in the film, in a dual role as an actor and director, deserves to win the National Award. Atlee lauded him for something unbelievable.Calling him a great inspiration for all filmmakers, he said, “After seeing the film, I can say he is a wonderful inspiration for all filmmakers. What he has pulled off is something that is not humanly possible. As a director, I can say it is incredibly difficult to execute such a film. But he’s also the actor in it, the hero and it’s not just a character to play. It takes a lot of rhythm within you to bring that out.”
