Rishab Shetty Bags Fancy Paycheck for Tollywood Film?

Actor Rishab Shetty gained wide recognition with his last film, Kantara, which made history at the box office. After Kantara, Rishab Shetty has become one of the most sought-after actors in the movie industry.

Shetty has been flooded with multiple offers from Bollywood and Tollywood. It appears he hasn't signed any Hindi movies yet as he was busy making the Kantara prequel.

Rishab seems to have shifted his focus toward Telugu films, with his new movie with Sithara Entertainment officially announced and his first look unveiled on Wednesday, July 30. Earlier, he was signed up for Jai Hanuman, a Telugu movie directed by Prasanth Varma.

Rumors are flying thick and fast in industry circles that Rishab Shetty is receiving a significantly higher paycheck for these new projects compared to his regular remuneration for Kannada films.

Meanwhile, Rishab Shetty will next be seen in Kantara 2, which is all set to be released in theaters on October 2, 2025.
