'Kantara Chapter 1' aiming for big global launch
This buzz follows the surprise hit of the first "Kantara" movie back in 2022, which made a whopping ₹400 crore worldwide on just a ₹15 crore budget.
Now, the prequel aims even higher—with an estimated ₹125 crore budget and an expanded cast featuring Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram.
It's also heading to international screens like Ireland and North America soon.
