The studio is named in honour of the historical Mysore ruler Kanthirava Narasaraja I, a name that has been widely adopted in Karnataka for civic and cultural institutions. Located in Bengaluru, the studio has been part of the infrastructure that supports the production of Kannada-language films, providing facilities such as shooting floors and outdoor sets.
As one of the film studios situated in Bengaluru, Kanteerava Studios has played a role in the development of Kannada cinema by offering production space within the state. The presence of such studios has historically reduced the need for Kannada filmmakers to rely on facilities in other south Indian film centres such as Chennai or Hyderabad.
