- Why So Many Kannada Films Get Stuck
The reality of our industry is harsh - more than 25% of Kannada films never make it to release.
They get stuck due to:
- Exhausted budgets
- Production delays
- Post-production issues
- Lack of distribution or marketing support
- Misaligned teams or poor planning
And with them, hundreds of hours of creative effort, money, and emotion go unrecognized.
At ACC, we’ve made it our mission to rescue these stories.
How ACC Revives Stalled Projects
We don’t just fund unfinished films. We bring in a specialized rescue squad – made up of producers, editors, writers, marketers, post-production pros, and financiers – to:

Rebrand & Relaunch
● New poster, trailer, title (if required)
● Bold new marketing campaign to reposition the film
● Theatrical release, OTT sale, or hybrid release through ACC distribution channels

Fund & Execute
● Co-produce or fully take over the remaining production/post-production
● Use our execution partner Bitla Media Works to fast-track timelines
● Fix audio, rework scenes, add voiceovers, or even re-cast short portions if needed

Reconstruct a Plan
● Decide what’s salvageable
● Build a minimal but high-quality roadmap to complete the film
● Identify gaps in casting, VFX, dubbing, background score, edit flow, etc

Audit the Project
● Review existing footage and production assets
● Assess creative and technical gaps
● Understand budget history and liabilities
