Over the past few years, the South Indian film industry has witnessed the rise of talented individuals, including Rishab Shetty. Shetty’s career, both as an actor and director, has been marked by significant accomplishments. He gained widespread recognition with the film ‘Kantara,’ but those familiar with South Indian cinema recognize Shetty’s consistent success. As a director, Shetty made a strong debut with ‘Ricky’ in 2016, which, although not a massive hit, recovered its budget. Following ‘Ricky,’ Shetty’s momentum continued. ‘Kirik Party’ emerged as a major blockbuster, earning a substantial sum at the box office. Later, he directed ‘Rammanna Rai,’ a children’s film that earned him a National Award. The release of ‘Kantara’ in 2022 brought global recognition, becoming a major commercial success. Shetty is now preparing for the second installment of the film, with projections suggesting it could earn a substantial amount on its opening day, potentially making it one of the highest-grossing films of 2025.
