'Kantara' actor-director Rishab Shetty has been sought-after everywhere. His film sold a higher number of tickets via BookMyShow in 2022 than even the Bollywood blockbuster 'The Kashmir Files'. No wonder the Sandalwood star is revelling in nationwide popularity. And Bollywood is in awe of Shetty.

Recently, Hrithik Roshan said that 'Kantara' bowled him over. Then there was Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who commented that he was green with envy over Shetty's talent.

The latest Bollywoodian to publicly express his admiration for Shetty is the senior Hindi actor Anil Kapoor, who has got classics like 'Mr. India' to his credit. In a chat show, Kapoor said that he would like to be directed by Shetty. The crowds cheered for the wish.

Shetty's performance in 'Kantara' is one for the ages. The film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video in Indian languages and on Netflix in English. The film is going to have a sequel and it will be made on a higher scale than the first part, whose budget was less than Rs 20 Cr.
