Kannada Film Industry hasn't been able to grow beyond a point as their movies have been remakes of other language popular films, mostly. Also, the industry couldn't grow as it budgets are far less from other big Industries like Telugu and Tamil.
They had actors like Anantha Nag, Vishnuvardhan, Girish Karnad who got National level recognition, filmmakers like Puttanna who delivered mega hits, but that all remained glory of past.
At one time, KFI had to halt the release of other language films as their films are not finding any audience. Contrastingly, Yash and Prashanth Neel, decided to decliver a huge film that will get all India level exposure.
They did with KGF Chapter 1. Movie is getting good numbers in USA, Hindi market and in Karnataka, it has been creating a big sensation.
While the Telugu market is not responding at that level, still the returns are very good. Yash is currently in Andhra Pradesh touring in Tirupati, Vijayawada and Vizag to meet the audience of the film, directly.
Well, entire Kannada Industry is rallying behind the film so much that they are making the only big movie to have ever released from KFI. Rashmika Mandanna too joined the bandwagon and said that she had goosebumps watching the movie!
