The distinct storyline of the movie is surely going to intrigue the fans nationally as well as globally. We have plans to release Kantara in different languages too in the coming week.”
Hombale Films, which has produced 'Kantara', emerged as a pan-India brand with 'KGF', which opened to a good response at the box office in 2018. The banner consolidated its standing earlier this year with 'KGF Chapter 2'. The Yash-led film proved to be a blockbuster and opened new avenues for Kannada cinema. The banner is also behind 'Salaar', starring Prabhas and Shruti Haasan.
