President of the Producers Association Umesh Bankar said, “Kannada film producers are afraid to release their films. It doesn’t look like Kantara fever is over yet. Most of the producers who noticed this are thinking of releasing their films later." He also added that the audience is watching Kantara again and again similar to Puneeth Rajkumar’s movies.
