Makers are yet to confirm the OTT release date for Kantara Chapter 1 in Hindi. Previously, they shared that the Hindi version will arrive on OTT after a gap of 8 weeks.
In an interview with India Today, Hombale Films producer Chaluve Gowda said, "Only the South language (Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam) versions of the film will release on OTT right now, not the Hindi version. The Hindi version will come after eight weeks. The agreement for this release window was actually done three years ago, so it’s more of an obligation on our part. Back then, the standard practice was different.”
