Temple of Time: Massive temple set becomes the heart of Hombale Films’ Kantara: Chapter 1
Kantara: Chapter 1 is an upcoming film that highlights Indian culture in a distinctive way. The makers have put in significant effort to bring this vision to life.
Hombale Films’ upcoming Kantara: Chapter 1 is among the much-anticipated releases. After the success of Kantara in 2022, which became a sleeper hit with strong box office numbers, the prequel aims to carry the story forward. The film is set on a larger scale, with artisans and crew members from different states contributing their skills to recreate its period setting.
Kantara: Chapter 1 is positioned as one of the notable films of the year, with its storyline, cast, and scale drawing attention. Artisans and crew members from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala, West Bengal, and other regions collaborated to recreate the film’s period setting. Their work was particularly focused on building a large temple set on a hilltop, designed to be shown across different decades, requiring diverse artistic contributions from across India.
Kantara: Chapter 1 is one of Hombale Films’ upcoming projects. The team includes music director B. Ajaneesh Loknath, cinematographer Arvind Kashyap, and production designer Vinesh Banglan, who have worked on developing the film’s visual and emotional elements.
Hombale Films is working to continue the legacy of the 2022 film with Kantara: Chapter 1. The makers have planned an extensive war sequence involving national and international specialists, with over 500 fighters and 3,000 participants. The sequence was shot over 45–50 days in a town set spread across 25 acres of rugged terrain, making it one of the large-scale sequences in Indian cinema.
The film is scheduled for a worldwide release on October 2 in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and English, aiming to reach audiences across regions while staying connected to its cultural roots.
With Kantara: Chapter 1, Hombale Films aims to present a cinematic experience that draws on folklore, faith, and strong storytelling.
