The project is directed by Gaura Shakti Dasa and produced by Rajesh Singh and Lohith Rao, with Sridhar Shikaripura as Visual Director. An official press release said, “The film traces the journey of Śrīla Prabhupāda, who, at the age of 69, travelled from India to America in 1965, carrying the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad-gītā and the message of Lord Krishna.
“Guided by the instruction of his spiritual master, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura, he embarked on a mission that would eventually take Krishna consciousness to millions across the world. His life stands as a testament to unwavering faith, surrender, perseverance and selfless service.” The Bengaluru-based Hombale Films, which bankrolled pan-Indian Kannada hits KGF (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2) and Kantara (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2), recently presented and later became the strategic franchise partner of the animated movie Mahavatar Narasimha (2025).
Directed by Ashwin Kumar and produced by Kleem Productions, was the retelling of Vishnu’s Narasimha avatar. Hombale Films, which is soon to kick-start the much-anticipated sequel to Salaar — directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Prabhas — was the international distributor of Hanuman Ansh, one of the biggest hits of 2026.
The Hindi movie, written and directed by Vishal Chaturvedi based on his book Detour: That Changed My Life, chronicles the life of spiritual leader Neem Karoli Baba. Saranagati is set to hit theatres worldwide in August 2027.
