The Kannada blockbuster ‘Bagheera’, the highest-grossing film of 2024, is set to make its Hindi digital debut on Hotstar on December 25. Released theatrically during Diwali, the film has solidified its status as the year’s most successful Kannada movie, UNI reported.
Produced by Hombale Films, known for cinematic triumphs like ‘KGF’, ‘Kantara’, and ‘Salaar’, ‘Bagheera’ upholds the studio’s tradition of delivering high-octane, universally resonant storytelling.
Directed by Dr. Suri and written by Prashanth Neel, the film follows Sri Murali as Vedant, a principled IPS officer disillusioned by a flawed justice system. Frustrated by systemic inefficiencies, Vedant transforms into the vigilante Bagheera, seeking justice on his terms. The narrative is charged with gripping confrontations against a ruthless antagonist (Garuda Ram) and a determined CBI officer (Prakash Raj).
Producer Vijay Kiragandur expressed pride in the film’s impact, saying, “From ‘KGF’ to ‘Bagheera’, our mission has been to craft stories that resonate universally with unmatched intensity.”
