Hombale Films has set remarkable benchmarks with culturally rooted films like KGF and Kantara, and their decision to associate with Bohurupi – The Golden Daku is a matter of immense pride for all of us. I am deeply grateful to Chaluve bhaisahab for making this historic collaboration possible. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to Mayank Shroff, Head of Filming and Distribution, for his constant support throughout this journey.”
