The divine origin of a legend is ready to unfold, and this time the roar of Kantara Chapter 1 will echo across Tamil Nadu. Hombale Films has officially joined hands with leading Tamil distributors to ensure that Rishab Shetty’s much-awaited epic reaches audiences in every corner of the state on October 2.
Kantara Chapter 1 is already creating a storm nationwide, and having confirmed strong distribution partnerships in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and the North Indian circuit, the Tamil Nadu entry marks another breakthrough in its ambitious release. The excitement has been amplified with buzz around paid premieres in over 2500 plus theatres, a strategy designed to build momentum through word of mouth even before its wide release.
The film, presented by Hombale Films and produced by Vijay Kiragandur, explores the divine roots of the legend that captured the world in the first chapter. With Rishab Shetty returning in front of and behind the camera, the prequel gets deeper into ritual, culture, and conflict, setting the stage for a larger-than-life experience rooted in folklore yet designed for the global stage.
Adding to the anticipation is the worldwide release, positioning Kantara Chapter 1 not just as a regional spectacle but as an Indian epic with international resonance. The film has Arvind Kashyap as its cinematographer, Ajaneesh Loknath as the composer, and a stellar ensemble cast, including Rukmini Vasanth and Gulshan Devaiah, among other actors.
