django Templateview class instantiation

In the following code i am trying to call Homeviews class inside HomeView function which inturn is called by urls.py. But i do not see get_context_data being called. but if i separate class of HomeViews independently then i can see that get_context_data is being called and arguments are called explicitly. From the following code how can i implement the functionality

views.py 

   def HomeView(request):
        print "Inside def====1"
        class HomeViews(TemplateView):
            def __init__(self):
                print "Inside class====2"

            def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
                print "Infunc====3"


        hv = HomeViews.as_view()
        print "After calling class"
        return HttpResponseRedirect("/someurl")

urls.py

url(r'^$', login_required(views.HomeView), name='home'),

I'm not going to ask why you're doing this, but to do so, pass the view into the hv view function you just generated.

def some_view(request):
    view = generic.TemplateView.as_view(template_name='foobar')
    return view(request)

or 

    hv = HomeViews.as_view()
    response = hv(request)
