Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 is shaping up to be the costliest project in Sandalwood history, and fans are buzzing with excitement over what’s next.
While anticipation peaks for the trailer, strong rumors suggest it may drop on September 20, 2025, although the makers have yet to confirm.
Adding to the hype, reports reveal that Amazon Prime Video has bagged the film’s OTT rights for a staggering ₹125 crore, making it one of the biggest OTT deals ever for a Kannada film.
The film is slated for a pan-Indian release on October 2, 2025, with Hombale Films backing it on a grand scale. A massive nationwide promotional campaign, both online and offline, is already underway.
The cast features Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, while Ajaneesh Loknath returns as the music composer, handling both the background score and songs. With scale, ambition, and cultural richness, Kantara: Chapter 1 is set to be one of the most-awaited Indian films of the year.
