The film is directed by Rishab Shetty and produced by Vijay Kiragandur and Chaluve Gowda under Hombale Films. According to a Pinkvilla report, the film’s digital rights have been sold to Amazon Prime Video for a staggering Rs 125 crore. This deal makes it one of the highest ever for a Kannada-origin film, second only to the pan-India blockbuster KGF 2.
The report stated that, “Amazon Prime has bagged the post-theatrical streaming rights of Kantara: Chapter 1 for a hefty sum of Rs 125 crore. It’s among the highest of all time for a film of Kannada origin, certainly the second best after KGF 2. The platform has bagged all language streaming rights.”
The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on October 2, and will be released in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and English. A massive war sequence, involving over 500 trained fighters and a crowd of 3,000 people, was shot over 45-50 days in a specially constructed 25-acre town built on rugged terrain. This scene alone is expected to be one of the most epic sequences ever seen in Indian cinema.
