Kannada star Rishab Shetty is making strategic career moves.
Before the release of Kantara, his popularity was largely confined to Karnataka. However, the film catapulted him to pan-Indian stardom.
Now, Rishab is focused on solidifying his position as a pan-Indian actor. Alongside working on the prequel to Kantara, he has recently signed his first Telugu film, Jai HanuMan.
Directed by Prasanth Varma, this project is being crafted for a pan-Indian audience, with Rishab portraying the role of Lord Hanuman.
Adding to his pan-Indian appeal, Rishab has also signed his first Bollywood project. He will play the lead in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a film directed by Sandeep Singh.
These three ambitious projects are expected to firmly establish Rishab Shetty as one of the prominent pan-Indian stars from South India.
