'Kantara: Chapter 1' is one of Hombale Films' most ambitious undertakings. The creative team includes music director B. Ajaneesh Loknath, cinematographer Arvind Kashyap, and production designer Vinesh Banglan, all of whom have shaped the film's powerful visual and emotional narrative.

'Kantara: Chapter 1' is the prequel to the 2022 Kannada hit Kantara. It's written, directed by, and starring Rishab Shetty. The narrative explores the ancient origins of the mythological spirits Panjurli Daiva and Guliga Daiva, central to the Bhuta Kola traditions in coastal Karnataka.

Set in pre-colonial times under the Kadamba dynasty, it's expected to lay bare the roots of conflict between forest-tribal communities and a tyrannical king, while digging into rituals, folklore and man's relationship with nature and the divine.

The film was shot over 250 shooting days, the big war sequences involved 500 fighters plus about 3,000 extras, large sets including a temple over hill terrain, and artisans from many Indian states contributing.

The film is set for a worldwide release on October 2 in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and English.
