Kantara: Chapter 1 to Enchant Global Audiences on Prime Video

Following a successful stint in theaters, 'Kantara: Chapter 1,' featuring the formidable Rishab Shetty, is poised to debut on OTT platforms. Prime Video will premiere the film in Kannada, with dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, starting October 31, 2025. Produced by Hombale Films, the movie delves into the intricate world of Tulunadu.

Rishab expressed his enthusiasm for this wider release, noting, 'Creating this prequel was a journey back to the roots that inspired its narrative—a cinematic exploration of authentic rituals and traditions. The film's theater success mirrors the profound connection it established with audiences, driven by its depiction of deep-rooted folklore.' The film brings life to the origins of Daiva worship, dating back to the Kadamba dynasty's time in the fourth century.

In 'Kantara: Chapter 1,' Shetty embodies Berme, a guardian of the Kantara forest and its indigenous tribes, confronting the ambitions of a royal family determined to usurp the Daivas' authority. The film also casts Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram, supported by a robust ensemble including Rakesh Poojari and others, enriching its dynamic conflict narrative.
