Superstar Rajinikanth who was much impressed with the performance of Rishab Shetty in ‘Kantara’, honoured the latter at his residence. After heaping praise on the hit Kannada film, the industry stalwart invited writer-director-actor Rishab Shetty to his residence and honoured him. Rishab took to Twitter to share the pictures with the megastar where he can be seen touching the feet of Rajinikanth to take his blessings.
Rajinikanth honoured Rishab with a traditional shawl while praising his vision.
Sharing the pictures on Twitter, Rishab wrote, “If you praise us once, we will praise you a hundred times (red heart emoji). Thank you, @rajinikanth sir, we are always grateful for your appreciation of our Kantara film.”
Earlier, Rajinikanth gave a big shout-out to Kantara and called it a “masterpiece in the Indian cinema”. “The unknown is more than the known,’ no one could have said this better in cinema than Hombale Films. Kantara, you gave me goosebumps. Rishab Shetty, hats off to you as a writer, director, and actor. Congrats to the whole cast and crew of this masterpiece in Indian cinema,” the Dadasaheb Phalke recipient wrote.
Kantara, directed by Shetty was originally released in Kannada, and turned out to be a huge hit. The movie focuses on one village in coastal Karnataka and how the Daiva Narthaka tale of the land is woven into the man-nature conflict of the region.
