Rishab
Shetty
has
all
the
reasons
to
grin
to
ear
these
days.
After
all,
his
Kannada
release
Kantara,
which
was
recently
released
in
Hindi,
has
set
the
box
office
on
fire.
The
action
thriller
has
been
garnering
immense
appreciation
from
the
audience
and
critics
alike
and
has
emerged
as
one
of
the
most
successful
films
of
the
year.
In
fact,
the
word
of
mouth
has
been
doing
wonders
for
Kantara
and
actor-director
Rishab
Shetty
can’t
stop
beaming
with
joy
with
the
movie’s
success.
To
note,
Kantara
has
raked
in
around
Rs
215.15
crore
from
all
languages.
And
after
basking
in
the
success
of
Kantara
in
all
languages,
Rishab
was
recently
seen
celebrating
his
achievement.
Wondering
how?
Well,
the
actor-director
visited
the
Siddhivinayak
temple
in
Mumbai
and
offered
prayers.
In
the
pics,
Rishab
was
seen
dressed
in
a
white
shirt
with
denims.
He
was
accompanied
by
his
team.
However,
soon
after
he
stepped
out
of
the
temple,
Rishab
was
surrounded
by
fans
and
happily
obliged
them
with
selfies.
Take
a
look
at
Rishab
Shetty’s
pics
as
he
visited
Siddhivinayak
Temple
post
the
success
of
Kantara:
Interestingly,
Rishab
also
stated
that
he
didn’t
expect
the
movie
to
do
this
well.
“I
have
seen
the
film
turning
into
a
phenomenon.
I
have
been
flying
in
and
out
of
cities
to
promote
it
with
my
team.
But
the
movie
we
sowed
as
a
small
seed
is
growing
bigger
each
day
into
a
giant
tree.
It
is
nothing
short
of
a
miracle,
and
I
feel
this
run
is
fuelled
by
the
daiva
(spirit)
himself.
I
did
not
expect
it
to
grow
this
big,
though
I
had
an
inkling
that
the
film
had
the
potential
to
pull
the
audiences,
as
the
content
was
planned
and
packaged
for
commercial
success,”
he
told
The
Week.
To
note,
several
celebs
have
also
appreciated
Rishab’s
performance
in
the
movie.
Rishab
had
met
the
legendary
actor
Rajinikanth
at
his
residence
in
Chennai
and
even
shared
pictures
with
him
on
social
media.
In
the
pics,
Rishab
was
seen
touching
Rajinikanth’s
feet
as
a
mark
of
respect
while
the
veteran
actor
gifted
him
a
shawl.
Rishab
even
penned
a
heartfelt
note
and
wrote,
“If
you
praise
us
once,
we
will
praise
you
a
hundred
times.
Thank
you
@rajinikanth
Sir,
we
are
always
grateful
for
your
appreciation
for
our
film
Kantara”.
To
note,
Kantara,
which
has
been
produced
by
Vijay
Kiragandur
under
the
prestigious
banner
Hombale
Films,
is
set
in
the
backdrop
of
the
Keraadi
region
of
coastal
Karnataka.
Apart

Shetty,
