When Rishab Shetty Struggled for Just One Show..

Life has come full circle for Rishab Shetty. The director-actor, who once fought hard in 2016 just to get his film screened for a single evening show, is now witnessing a dream run. His latest film Kantara Chapter 1 has turned into a sensation, pulling in massive crowds and already putting up over 5,000 houseful boards across theatres.

Sharing his happiness, Rishab recalled those tough early days when he struggled to secure even one theatre for his film, and expressed gratitude for the love that audiences have showered on him. He said that no success would have been possible without the blessings of God and the unwavering support of movie lovers who stood by his journey.

Backed by Hombale Films, with Rishab Shetty himself at the helm, Kantara Chapter 1 also stars Rukmini Vasanth as the female lead, while Ajaneesh Loknath’s music has added another layer of strength to the film’s impact.

What once began as a struggle for a single show has now transformed into a celebration of thousands, a true testimony to how far passion and persistence can take a filmmaker.
