Hombale Films has announced its debut venture in the Marathi film industry with the first hip hop musical film titled 'Yeto Ka Naay' on Friday. The story is set against the backdrop of Mumbai.
Hombale Films has delivered cinematic successes in recent years, including KGF, Salaar and Mahavatar. The production house has also announced the Hindi version of the movie 'YKN-Pehla Vaar'.
Produced by Vijay Kiragandur, 'Yeto Ka Naay' is directed by Sarang Sanjeev Sathaye and written by Sarang Sanjeev Sathaye, Sujay Jadhav, Srushti Tawade, and Shreyas Sagvekar.
The film features cinematography by Harshvir Oberai and music composed by AV Prafullachandra. The shoot is currently underway in Mumbai, and the film is slated for a theatrical release later this year.
The production house took to its Instagram handle to share the first look of the film on Friday. "The beat drops. The rivalry begins. Can the brotherhood bond survive?"
The release date of the film has not been announced yet by the makers.
The latest Hombale Films production is Kantara: Chapter 1, which starred Rishab Shetty in the lead role. The film also starred Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah in the lead roles. The movie performed well at the box office.
It was released in 2025. The film served as the prequel to the superhit Kantara, released in 2022.

Hip hop musical in Marathi? This is so refreshing! Bollywood has been recycling the same old stories, so regional cinema experimenting is great. But I hope the music is original and not just a copy of Western hip hop. 🙏
After KGF and Kantara, Hombale has set high standards. But going from period action (Kantara) to hip-hop musical is risky. I hope they don't dilute their brand. Still, kudos for trying something new! Let's see if the story holds up.
I'm an American who loves watching Indian cinema, and this sounds unique! A Marathi hip-hop musical with beef and brotherhood themes? I'm curious how they'll blend local flavors with global sounds. Definitely on my radar. 🇺🇸❤️🇮🇳
Good to see Marathi cinema getting attention. But Hombale should avoid making this a typical masala film with forced item numbers. Keep it true to hip hop culture and Mumbai's street stories. Also, please don't dub it badly for Hindi version.
This sounds like the kind of bold move regional cinema needs. I hope the director Sarang Sathaye brings authenticity to the story. But Hombale's recent track record has been amazing, so I'm cautiously optimistic. 🤞🎬
