The Man Behind Success Story Of Hombale Films - Revealed

S Venkateshwari
Typically, it takes many years for a production studio to reach the top through consistent hits, and only then do they develop films with budgets in the hundreds of crores. For example, Vyjyjanthi Movies was founded 50 years ago, and after all of this time, they are producing mega-budget films (hundreds of crores) like kalki 2898 starring prabhas and Nag Ashwin. However, Hombale Films has accelerated the process and is producing films on massive budgets so early in their career.
The success of Hombale Films is tied to a powerful emotional narrative involving the late kannada actor Puneeth Rajkumar. Vijay Kirangadur, the producer, came from a tiny hamlet in Mandya and ascended from rags to riches. When it came time to launch his production company, his good buddy Puneeth Rajkumar recommended the name "Hombale," which is named after the villa deity (grama devatha) Hombalamma.
Vijay founded "Hombale Films" at Puneeth's suggestion, and they collaborated on the smash "Ninnandale." This was followed by master Piece with yash and Rajakumara with Puneeth, both of which were box-office successes. Then prashanth neel appeared, and kgf occurred. Hombale's kgf 2 was the first kannada film to cross the 1000-crore mark. Kanthara, another of their films, was a pan-India big success.

And just when Vijay was about to repay Puneeth for everything he done for Hombale by announcing a pan-India film with him, Puneeth died. Vijay was devastated, and he is still mourning the loss of his dear buddy. He is said to still tell his pals that if Puneeth had been alive, he would have given him a blockbuster.
He holds Puneeth in high regard, and properly so, which is why every theatre screenings of Hombale's show begin with a tribute card to Puneeth Rajkumar. Salaar: Part 2, Kanthara 2, and additional films are on the way for Hombale Films.
