Rishab Shetty Vows to Learn Telugu for Next Telugu Film

Last month, on September 30th, the promotion of the Telugu version of 'Kantara Chapter 1' was held in Vijayawada with great fanfare. The film's director and lead actor, Rishab Shetty, along with heroine Rukmini Vasanth, met with enthusiastic fans at the Vijayawada Expo Grounds. Rishab's dramatic arrival on stage and Rukmini's captivating appearance generated immense excitement among the audience.

Addressing the fans, Rishab Shetty acknowledged the close bond between Kannada and Telugu cultures, stating, "Kannada, Kannadiga, and Telugu are brothers; everyone is a brother." He promised to learn Telugu properly for his next Telugu film, 'Jai Hanuman,' assuring the audience that he would speak in their native language during that project. This gesture from Rishab has helped mend the earlier criticism he faced for speaking in Kannada at the 'Kantara Chapter 1' pre-release event in Hyderabad.

'Kantara Chapter 1,' a prequel to the 2022 release 'Kantara,' is set to hit theaters worldwide on October 2nd. The film, starring Rishab Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Gulshan Devaiah, and Jayaram, has generated significant anticipation among fans, with strong advance bookings across locations. The Dussehra release is poised to make a big impact at the box office.
