Kantara Chapter 1 - Pre-Release spectacle in Hyderabad tonight

The wait is almost over. As Rishab Shetty’s Kantara: Chapter 1 gears up for a global release on October 2, the makers are rolling out a grand pre-release celebration tonight at the JRC Convention Hall, Hyderabad, starting 5 PM.

The event will be headlined by Young Tiger Jr. NTR, attending as Chief Guest, a move seen as a big push to strengthen the film’s reach in the Telugu states.

Produced by Hombale Films, the project has attracted global attention, with Hollywood stunt experts contributing to the action-heavy sequences. The multilingual campaign has already set social media abuzz, with teaser videos trending across regions.

In the Telugu states, talk of ticket price hikes has intensified. Reports suggest Telangana may cap multiplex rates around ₹295, while Andhra Pradesh distributors are lobbying for a ₹50 hike. Advance bookings, especially in Karnataka, are already robust, with premiere shows expected from October 1 evening. With tonight’s star-studded fanfare, all eyes are on how Kantara: Chapter 1 will roar at the box office and set the tone for India’s evolving cinematic universe.
