What's the story
Hombale Films, the powerhouse behind pan-India blockbusters like KGF: Chapter 1 and 2, Kantara, Salaar, and Mahavatar Narasimha, has announced its entry into overseas distribution. The production house's new venture aims to take Indian cinema to a wider global audience with a structured international distribution strategy. The move is seen as a strategic evolution rather than just an in-house extension.
Global collaboration
Collaboration with diverse filmmakers and production houses
