A small move on Instagram has brought Rishab Shetty back into the spotlight.
The actor, known for the Kantara franchise, is now trending after fans noticed a change in his following list.
According to reports, Rishab is no longer following his co-stars Rukmini Vasanth and Raj B. Shetty, which quickly triggered speculation online. Fans began wondering if something had gone wrong behind the scenes.
The buzz grew further when people noticed that Hombale Films, the banner behind the Kantara films, is also missing from his following list.
However, there has been no official clarification from anyone involved, making it all speculation for now.
Interestingly, not everything has changed. Rishab still follows Vijay Kiragandur, the head of Hombale Films.
This detail has made fans hold back from jumping to conclusions, suggesting that the situation may not be as serious as it appears.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Kantara: Chapter 1 has turned out to be a massive success at the box office. The film reportedly crossed over â¹740 crore in India and went beyond â¹850 crore worldwide.
Serving as a prequel to Kantara, the film explored the roots of the story and delved deeper into its traditions and ancestral conflicts.
Rishab Shetty once again handled both acting and direction, and the combination clearly worked with audiences.
The film also featured a strong supporting cast, including Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, Ramitha Shailendra, and Pramod Shetty.
Up next, Rishab is set to appear in Jai Hanuman, directed by Prasanth Varma.
For now, while the Instagram activity has sparked curiosity, the real reason behind it remains unknown.
