MUMBAI: Hombale Films is undoubtedly the biggest production house in Indian cinema. While the leading production house has boomed the Indian cinema with their blockbusters like KGF Chapter 2, Kantara: A Legend, and Prabhas-PPrashanth Neel's 'Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire', their next biggest project, 'Kantara: Chapter 1', is hugely awaited by the fans and the audiences.

Yesterday, on Amazon Prime Video Day, it was announced in a grand way that Hombale Films and Rishab Shetty's Kantara: Chapter 1 will be streaming on Amazon Prime Video post-theatrical release. Since the film is in its shooting stages, Rishab Shetty who was also at the event made a big revelation related to the much-awaited film and said, "Humare gaon ka jo ek kahaani aur folklore leke aana chahiye bade screen pe – yeh ek dream tha. When I was in my second year of college toh uss samay yeh kahani tha dimaag mein – mann mein . When I became a filmmaker, ek screenplay jaisa construct kiya. Shoot karne se pehle humara plan tha ki prequel ja raha hai. So, baad mein, darshako ne itna bada support diya hai. Humare gaon mein bada set lagaya hai abhi. Next mahine hum log shoot jaa rahe hai"

(I started my acting career from here, which I performed when I was in the 6th standard. Our village’s story and folklore should be brought to the big screen. When I was in my second year of college, this story was in my mind. When I became a filmmaker, I constructed a screenplay properly. Before shooting, we planned that a prequel is going to happen. We also got a huge support from the audience. We have set up a big set in our village now. We will be shooting there next month).
