“Let’s preserve the forests that preserve us. They are our spirit, our strength, our story.”
A touching post by Hombale Films, along with a beautiful new poster of Kantara: Chapter 1, was a fitting remembrance of World Environment Day 2025.
The makers of Kantara, an Indian film that went above and beyond audience expectations in 2022, continue to remain firmly and deeply grounded in eco-conscious storytelling as they prepare for the much-publicised sequel (prequel, if we are being honest) to their film.
New Poster Drops, Forest Message Hits Deep
The poster released on June 5, on social media, shows an intense image depicting the spiritual connection between man and forest, previously teased to describe Panjurli Daiva, spirit of the forest, who looks out for his people.
The caption reads:
“Let’s pledge to conserve the forests, for our sake and for the sake of future generations. #WorldEnvironmentDay #KantaraChapter1”
This connects nut for nut back to the heart of Kantara’s themes: the sacred bond of humanity and nature through folklore, tradition, and divine interactions.
Kantara: Chapter 1 – Building the Legacy
After the unanticipated breakout success of Kantara in 2022, the excitement has only closely compared to the anticipation for Kantara: Chapter 1.
The prequel now ranks at No. 1 in IMDb’s Most Anticipated Indian Films of 2025, creating exceptionally high expectations from audiences and trade.
Directed by and starring Rishab Shetty, the film elaborates specifically on the origin of the character Panjurli and his spiritual landscape. Hombale Films owns this project, and it is expected to be on a grander scale, with advanced visuals and more emotion than the first film.
Forest Conservation: A Movement, Not Merely A Theme
Kantara is not just a film; it is a movement of conservation and cultural legacy. The narrative shows how tribal communities look at forests not as resources but rather as sacred land—in all aspects of nature lies divinely protected.
In an age of increasing urgency in ecological crisis, Hombale Films has successfully articulated Kantara as a film metaphor for advocating environmental consciousness. Their World Environment Day campaign makes it more relevant than ever.
What is Hombale Films next?
With Kantara: Chapter 1 releasing on October 2, 2025, Hombale Films is preparing for a lucrative holiday season. Other anticipated projects include:
- Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam
- A newly announced Hrithik Roshan film expected to be a pan-India action extravaganza
The production house has always promoted stories with a massive scale and depth—which Kantara is a shining example of.

Box Office Worldwide Verdict
Hombale Films’ commitment to World Environment Day is more than clever marketing—it’s an emotional reminder of the intent of Kantara.
With Kantara: Chapter 1, Hombale Films does not just promise a bigger film—
It promises a larger experience rooted in spiritual understanding and consciousness of the physical world. And in this time, that is not just refreshing—it is required.
Nature is the heart of Kantara, and in Chapter 1, Hombale Films shows us once again that insightful storytelling can create real-life awareness ripples.
Look for a film that is grand, grounded, and globally significant.
