Vijay Kiragandur, producer and co-founder of Hombale Films, just lit a fire under fans’ anticipation by dropping a cinematic bombshell on social media. In a dramatic post, he announced a powerhouse collaboration between Hombale Films and PVR INOX for the release of the much-awaited "Kantara: Chapter 1"—a mythological action drama all set to storm cinemas on October 2, 2025. And yes, that’s Gandhi Jayanti, because nothing says “peace and tradition” like a legend forged in fire.
This upcoming film is the prequel to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara, a cultural phenomenon that blended folklore, action, and divine mysticism into a cinematic rollercoaster. Directed once again by Rishab Shetty, who not only directed but also starred in the original, Kantara: Chapter 1 dives deeper into the origins of the legend that captured hearts across India. If the first film was thunder, this one's promising to be the lightning that started it all.
In a clear move to amplify reach and impact, the film will release in seven languages: Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali, and English. This multilingual rollout isn't just a nod to inclusivity—it’s a strategic flex by Hombale Films, signaling their intent to make folklore global and bring rooted stories to diverse audiences across India and beyond.
Enter PVR INOX, the multiplex titan born from the 2023 merger of PVR Ltd and INOX Leisure. Their nationwide network and upscale cinematic infrastructure make them the perfect partner to amplify Kantara: Chapter 1's epic scale. With this team-up, expect Dolby Atmos, reclining seats, and divine drama all in one go—no rituals required.
With the original film having bagged a National Film Award and a loyal cult following, the prequel now has big sandals to fill. But if the teaser’s intensity and this strategic collaboration are anything to go by, Kantara: Chapter 1 isn’t just releasing—it’s about to awaken a legend.
