English Version Of Kantara Chapter 1 To Release On October 31

Rishab Shetty's mythological action epic Kantara: Chapter 1 continues its remarkable journey at the global box office. With the film set for entering its fourth week and still drawing strong crowds, the makers have now taken a bold new step to expand its reach internationally. In a groundbreaking move, Kantara: Chapter 1 will become the first Indian film to have an English language release, slated to hit screens on October 31.

The film's runtime has been strategically trimmed to 2:14:45 hours for the English version, offering a sharper, more fast paced experience without compromising its core narrative. This move is aimed at increasing accessibility and enhancing engagement for viewers unfamiliar with Indian storytelling styles. Produced by Hombale Films, the movie directed by Rishab Shetty himself has already broken several box office records.

It is racing towards ₹800 crore gross worldwide, whereas the movie collected ₹100 crore+ gross in Telugu states alone. This English release is expected to give the film yet another boost at the global box office, solidifying its place among Indian cinema's most successful ventures.

Kantara: Chapter 1 is a prequel to the 2022 hit Kantara, exploring ancient traditions, mystical rituals, and the roots of the Daiva culture. The film features a talented cast, including Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram Subramaniam. With stunning visuals and intense drama, the film promises to expand the universe that captivated audiences in 2022.
