The makers took to social media, and shared the trailer as they wrote,“The prologue to the legend, Karnika's Adi Parva... from us to you. #KantaraChapter1 is our tribute to the land and people who made this journey possible. Presenting #KantaraChapter1Trailer #Kantara #KantaraChapter1onOct2”.

The creative team of 'Kantara: Chapter 1' includes music director B. Ajaneesh Loknath, cinematographer Arvind Kashyap, and production designer Vinesh Banglan, all of whom have shaped the film's powerful visual and emotional narrative.

The makers have curated an extensive war sequence for Kantara: Chapter 1 with national and international specialists, involving over 500 skilled fighters and featuring 3,000 people. This sequence was filmed in an entire town spanning 25 acres on rugged terrain, over a period of 45–50 days, making it one of the biggest sequences in the history of Indian cinema.

Produced by Hombale Films, 'Kantara: Chapter 1' is set to arrive in cinemas on October 2 in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil, Bengali, and English, reaching audiences across languages and regions while remaining deeply rooted in its cultural core.
