Pan-India sensation Rishab Shetty, who rose to nationwide fame with “Kantara” and its prequel “Kantara Chapter 1,” is reportedly stepping into two major Telugu film projects.

Industry buzz suggests that Rishab is in talks to play a key role in “Jai Hanuman,” directed by Prashanth Varma. Alongside this, he is also expected to feature in a period drama produced by Naga Vamsi under the Sitara Entertainments banner. The project will be helmed by Ashwin Gangaraju, known for his work on All India Radio.

If confirmed, these collaborations mark Rishab’s strong entry into Tollywood, expanding his footprint beyond the Kannada film industry.
