- Produced by Hombale Films, the prequel follows 2022’s blockbuster Kantara.
Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh is set to collaborate with Rishab Shetty’s highly anticipated film Kantara: Chapter 1, marking one of the most exciting pan-India crossovers of the year.
Big collaboration for Hombale Films
The film, produced by Hombale Films, is a prequel to Shetty’s 2022 blockbuster Kantara, which became a cultural phenomenon across India for its rooted storytelling and unique blend of folklore, spirituality, and action. With Chapter 1, expectations are soaring, both for the cinematic content and its box-office potential.
According to industry sources, Dosanjh is scheduled to record a special track for the film tomorrow. His involvement is seen as a strategic move to expand the reach of the movie in North India, where the Punjabi superstar has a massive fan following.
“Diljit coming on board is one of the biggest pan-India collaborations we’ve seen this year. The idea is to build an even bigger national connect for Kantara: Chapter 1. The song is bound to be one of the most talked-about aspects of the film once it’s revealed,” the source said.
Expanding the audience base
While the first Kantara made waves primarily in South India before catching fire nationwide, the prequel is being positioned as a truly pan-Indian release from the outset. Bringing in Dosanjh — who enjoys equal popularity as a singer and actor — adds fresh excitement and ensures greater anticipation across linguistic and regional boundaries.
The film stars Rishab Shetty once again in the lead, alongside Rukmini Vasanth and Sapthami Gowda. With Dosanjh’s musical contribution adding to the hype, Kantara: Chapter 1 is already one of the most eagerly awaited releases on the Indian cinema calendar.
