During a panel discussion with editor A. Sreekar Prasad (RRR) and Oscar committee member Ujwal Nirgudkar, Chaluve Gowda spoke about Hombale Films’ plans for international outreach. He shared that Kantara Chapter 1 is being developed with the Oscars in mind, signalling a step forward for the Kannada film industry in reaching global audiences.
