Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1, written, directed, and headlined by the visionary Rishab Shetty, produced by Hombale Films, serves as a prequel to the 2022 smash hit Kantara. After a phenomenal theatrical run and a blockbuster performance at the box office, Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 is now set for its global streaming premiere on Prime Video. Starting October 31, the film will be available in Kannada, with dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
Rishab Shetty is excited about Kantara: A Legend Chapter 1 reaching out to a wider audience on Amazon.
Says Rishab, “It is a story deeply embedded in our soil, celebrating the sacred bond between man, nature, and faith. When I began working on this prequel, I wanted to return to the origins of this world—to the roots that inspired it all. Every ritual, emotion, and moment in the film draws from lived culture and real traditions.”
He feels the love the film received in movie theatres could now be extended into a far deeper curve. “The love it received in theatres is a reflection of how deeply our folklore resonates with audiences. I’m thrilled that Prime Video will take this story beyond borders, allowing viewers everywhere to experience the spirit, mystery, and divinity of Kantara’s world in its purest form.”
