The Hindi version of the Kannada film Kantara is all set to release on October 14. Also, a new Hindi trailer for the film was launched on Sunday. The movie written, directed, and fronted by Rishab Shetty, Kannada period action thriller was released on September 30. Producer Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films said they have plans to release Kantara in more languages in the coming weeks.
“We wanted the world to see the distinct cultural identity that we are proud of. The movie spells out sacred customs and traditions, hidden treasures and generational secrets with the backdrop of uniquely rugged, charming landscapes of coastal Karnataka,” Kiragandur said in a statement.
The movie is again set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada. Kantara follows a Kambala champion, played by Shetty, who comes to loggerheads with an upright Forest Range officer, Murali (Kishore).
Notably, Kambala is an annual race, held from November to March in coastal Karnataka, in which a jockey drives a pair of buffaloes, tied to the plough, through parallel muddy tracks. Further, Kantara goes to a different genre than KGF, the period action film franchise, added the producer. “The distinct storyline of the movie is surely going to intrigue the fans nationally as well as globally,” he said.
In the press release, the makers said that the Hindi version of the movie will be released on over 800 screens across India. Later, Hombale Films also posted that the Telugu version of Kantara will hit the screens on October 15.
“Presenting #Kantara in Telugu, In Cinemas Oct 15th,” the banner said on Twitter. Actor-producer Prithviraj Sukumaran announced that he will soon release the Malayalam version of Kantara in Kerala through his banner Prithviraj Productions.
“#KANTAARA Malayalam! Coming soon! I HAD to do this after watching the Kannada version! Do not miss this gem in the theatres when it releases across Kerala in Malayalam. @hombalefilms @PrithvirajProd @shetty_rishab,” Sukumaran tweeted on Sunday.
Kantara further stars Achyuth Kumar and Sapthami Gowda in pivotal roles.
