Rishab Shetty, who rose to pan-Indian fame with ‘Kantara’, had once sparked a debate during a public event with his remarks about the Kannada film industry. Shetty expressed that he did not want to leave his home industry after delivering a hit, unlike others. At the time, many interpreted this as a veiled dig at Prashanth Neel, the director of ‘KGF’, who ventured into other industries following his massive success.
However, recent developments in Shetty’s career have put him under the netizens’ spotlight. Despite his earlier stance, the actor-director has now committed to projects outside the Kannada industry. His upcoming films include ‘Jai Hanuman’, a Telugu film, and ‘Shivaji Maharaj’, which marks his Bollywood debut. Additionally, reports suggest he is in talks with a prominent Telugu director for another project.
These developments have raised issues about Rishab Shetty’s consistency with his previous statements. Social media platforms are bustling with debates on whether the actor contradicted himself. While some admirers applaud Shetty, claiming that his move into other industries demonstrates his growing popularity and ambition, others criticize him for abandoning his claimed devotion to Kannada cinema.
Rishab Shetty has not yet publicly addressed the controversy, but this scenario highlights the delicate balance actors must maintain while navigating the expectations of their loyal fanbase and the demands of a rapidly evolving entertainment industry.Whether this criticism will impact his popularity remains to be seen.
