Prabhas shares why he always wanted to work with Hombale Films

Pan-India superstar Prabhas, known for his phenomenal performances in Baahubali, Adipurush, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, and Kalki 2898 AD, has shared heartfelt admiration for Hombale Films — the powerhouse behind some of Indian cinema’s biggest blockbusters. Recalling a pivotal moment during the making of K.G.F., Prabhas opened up about what truly sets the production house apart.

“There’s one moment I remember clearly from K.G.F. It was Prashanth Neel’s first film with Hombale and just his second overall. The set caught fire, and the budget was already tight. Everyone was tense, but Vijay sir simply said, ‘Relax, don’t worry about the money — get the product right.’ That stuck with me,” said Prabhas. “I've heard similar stories from Kantara and other projects. He always tells the technicians, ‘Quality is most important for my films.’ That’s why I wanted to work with them — they never compromise on quality.”

Hombale Films has redefined cinematic storytelling with high-octane spectacles and culturally rooted narratives. Known for producing K.G.F: Chapter 1 & 2, Kantara, and Salaar, the banner has created a solid reputation for excellence. The K.G.F. franchise, directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Yash, shattered box office records, grossing around ₹1500 crore collectively and setting a new benchmark in Indian film history.

Their commitment to quality and creative freedom is what draws top-tier talent like Prabhas to collaborate. With each film, Hombale raises the bar — whether it's blending rich Indian folklore with gripping drama in Kantara or delivering an intense action saga like Salaar.

As they continue to dominate Indian cinema, Hombale Films is gearing up for a powerful slate ahead, including Kantara: Chapter 1, set to release on 2nd October 2025, and Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam. The studio also recently announced an exciting project with Hrithik Roshan, further solidifying its position as a creative force in the industry.

For Prabhas, working with Hombale was more than a professional decision — it was a creative alignment with a team that puts storytelling and craftsmanship above all else.
