A source close to Hombale Films said, “There is “no truth” to this development. After KGF Chapter 1 and 2, and Kantara, the next pan-Indian film from Hombale Films is Salaar with Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran.” The source added that the film is directed by Prashanth Neel. Additionally, the banner is planning another film for 2023, the casting of which is not yet disclosed.

Hombale Films has become one of the most profitable production houses in India after producing the KGF series and the latest blockbuster Kantara. By gaining more than ₹1,100 crores in box office collections, KGF Chapter 2 became the top-grosser in India and set new standards for pan-India releases. Similarly, the mythological folk drama Kantara has gone onto to earn global recognition.

For Kantara fans, there is good news waiting though. The iconic song Varaha Roopam has been added back to streaming services after winning the legal battle in Kerala court on November 25.

The Kozhikode District Court in Kerala dismissed the Thaikkudam Bridge Band’s petition and lifted the ban against the song due to lack of jurisdiction. Before, several fans were disappointed with Kantara’s premiere on OTT on November 24 because of the removal of the song due to an alleged case of plagiarism.
