Rishabh Shetty.. No one knew this name before October 15. The Telugu audience does not even know that there is an actor with this name. However, he acted brilliantly in the movie ‘Kantara’ and received everyone’s praise. He is not only the hero but also the director of the film ‘Kantara’..! Acting as a hero on the one hand and acting as a director on the other is not a common thing.
While our Tollywood directors spend Rs.40 crores and Rs.50 crores to make such a film, Rishabh Shetty has made it with a budget of Rs.16 crores. Rishabh Shetty has impressed Tollywood producers in this regard. That is why he is getting offers not only as an actor but also as a director in Telugu. As ‘Kantara’ was released in Telugu by ‘Geeta Arts’, Allu Arvind requested Rishabh to make his next film in ‘Geeta Arts’.
But Rishabh is also planning ‘Kantara 2’. Heard that Allu Arvind didn’t bother Rishabh for that. But Rishabh directed and starred in films like ‘Bell Bottom’ and is being given to ‘Aaha’. Meanwhile.. Rishabh’s ‘alliance’ has already advanced from them. Mythri, which is one of the biggest production companies in Tollywood, has already booked all the big stars of Tollywood.
Also, the Mythri company has given advances to popular heroes and directors in the industry. Vijay, Prashant Neil, Lokesh Kanagaraj, Salman Khan, Siddharth Anand have already been given advances and locked. In the same order, Rishabh Shetty was also given an advance and locked. But it remains to be known whether it is for making him a hero or for the direction.
