Receiving Bollywood offers post Kantara, says Rishab Shetty

Kannada actor and director Rishab Shetty recently opened up about making his Bollywood debut after the grand success of his recently released action thriller 'Kantara'.

Rishab in an exclusive interview with ANI said, "I got offers from Bollywood filmmakers but right now I want to make films in Kannada only. I adore Mr Bachchan, I really like him and even in the younger generations actors like Shahid Kapoor or Salman Bhai and many more I like each one of them."


Helmed by Rishab Shetty 'Kantara' was released on September 30 and gathered a massive response from the audience for its storyline and amazing visuals.

Recently, Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and south actor Rajinikanth praised Rishab Shetty for his film.

According to trade expert Taran Adarsh, the film has minted over £5 million (approximately) in the Hindi market after the third week of its release and has already crossed the lifetime collection of actor Yash's 'KGF: Chapter 1.'

Talking about the sequel of the film 'Kantara', Rishab told ANI, " I haven't thought about it yet. So let's see if such a day comes then we will announce it."

After the massive response, fans on social media started the #KantaraForOscars trend and demanded that the film has to be considered for the Academy Awards.

Produced by Hombale Films 'Kantara' starred Rishab Shetty, Pramod Shetty, Achyuth Kumar, Sapthami Gowda, and south actor Kishore in the lead roles.

In the past couple of years, many south Indian films like 'Baahubali', 'KGF', 'Pushpa', 'Karthikeya 2' and now 'Kantara' got a worldwide appreciation for their amazing content.

Set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, Kantara follows the character of Shetty who is playing a Kambala champion who has a faceoff with an upright Forest Range officer.

Kim Kardashian didn’t know the Ambanis before saying yes to their ‘Wild’ 50-pound wedding invite

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about their whirlwind trip to India in July 2024. The two reality stars were among the global celebrities who attended the grand wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. In the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim admitted that she didn’t personally know the Ambani family before attending the wedding. In fact, the decision to go was made pretty casually.

During the episode, Kim shared that her connection to the Ambanis came through Lorraine Schwartz, a close friend and well-known jeweller. Schwartz designs jewellery for the Ambanis and was attending the wedding herself. She mentioned to Kim that the family was interested in inviting the Kardashian sisters to the event. “Lorraine said they’d love to have us there. We thought, why not? And we just went for it,” Kim explained.
