After delivering cinematic landmarks like KGF, Kantara, and Salaar Hombale Films continues its legacy of excellence with Bagheera. Released theatrically during Diwali, the film became the highest-grossing Kannada movie of 2024, and now the vigilante thriller is set to reach audiences worldwide with its world digital premiere on Disney+ Hotstar this December 25, 2024, streaming in Hindi.
Directed by Dr Suri and written by Prashanth Neel, Bagheera tells the story of Vedanth (Sriimurali), a gold medalist IPS officer who transforms into a vigilante after being disillusioned by the limitations of the justice system. As Vedanth dons the mask of Bagheera, he faces off against a powerful antagonist (Garuda Ram) and a relentless CBI officer (Prakash Raj) in a battle for justice.
With electrifying action sequences, emotional depth, and a stellar cast that includes Rukmini Vasanth, Rangayana Raghu, and Achyuth Kumar, Bagheera is a testament to Hombale Films commitment to crafting compelling cinematic experiences.
Vijay Kiragandur, Producer, Hombale films said, “From KGF to Bagheera, Hombale Films has always aimed to bring stories with universal appeal and unmatched intensity. We are thrilled to see Bagheera not only become the highest-grossing Kannada film of the year but also now reach a wider audience through Disney+ Hotstar in Hindi. This is the perfect opportunity for audiences to experience the magic of Hombale Films this Christmas.”
Sriimurali, playing the role of Vedanth said, “Playing Vedanth and embodying his journey from a principled officer to a relentless vigilante was both challenging and rewarding. After the incredible response to the theatrical release, I’m thrilled that Bagheera will now premiere on Disney+ Hotstar in Hindi, making it accessible to even more viewers.”
