About — the Chittara journey
Seventeen years of Kannada cinema. One platform.
Chittara began in 2009 as a printed film magazine and grew into a media house — the magazine, chittaranews.com, the Chittara Star Awards, the Music Awards and Miss Karnataka. Chittara One brings that whole world onto one platform.

Our story
Booking talent, without the guesswork
For seventeen years Chittara has sat inside the Kannada film industry — on its sets, at its premieres, behind its award nights. Booking the right celebrity in Karnataka still meant chasing scattered contacts, unclear availability and no accountability. Chittara One exists to fix that — the industry’s own network, turned into a single trusted platform where brands and organisers discover, shortlist and enquire about verified talent with confidence.
We represent actors, actresses, influencers, singers, models, anchors, comedians, motivational speakers and spiritual gurus — each vetted, each professionally managed. Behind every profile is a real team handling contracts, logistics and delivery.
From a brand campaign to a single evening’s performance, the promise is the same: the right talent, handled to a premium standard, through one point of contact.
Trust first
Every artist is verified and directly represented. What you see is real representation.
A premium standard
The same bar that runs Miss Karnataka runs every booking we handle.
One point of contact
From first enquiry to final settlement, one accountable desk handles it all.
Curated, not crowded
A hand-picked roster across nine categories — quality over volume.
