There is hardly any mass audience market that the Kannada film industry has ever entered but with films like KGF 1 and 2 and Kantara, the industry showcased its content to the whole world and eventually booked great success as well. This trend of opening doors of the Pan-India market was indeed initiated by S. S. Rajamouli with films like the _Baahubal_i franchise which is very well taken ahead to the next level with Hombale films, KGF 1 and 2, and Kantara.
