Prasanth Neel is indeed one of India’s biggest directors, having delivered some of the biggest blockbusters like KGF Chapter 1 & 2 and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire. While the director has worked closely with Hombale Films on these blockbusters, he firmly believes that they have changed the game for Kannada cinema and that the production house invests in people and ideas just as much as it does in films.

While speaking about Hombale Films in a recent interview, director Prashanth Neel said, “Hombale has changed the game for Kannada cinema in every sense. Before K.G.F, our films rarely got attention outside Karnataka. But after that, the way people looked at Kannada films completely shifted.” According to the filmmaker, it further helps that the production house deems it important to invest in people and ideas, as much as it does in films. “Today, many young talents in Karnataka feel inspired and confident to think big. Hombale made that possible.”

He has truly transformed the dynamics of cinema with these blockbusters. By delivering explosive and mind-blowing theatrical experiences, the director has set new records at the box office.
