Rishab Shetty, Chidambaram team up for two films
Kantara star Rishab Shetty will collaborate with Manjummel Boys director Chidambaram on two films. Their first project is a Kannada sports drama.
The film is in pre-production and is expected to go on floors next year. Producer Shibu Thameens will back the project. Story details and the cast are yet to be announced.
The pairing brings together two rooted storytellers. Rishab is known for culturally grounded cinema with Kantara. Chidambaram won acclaim for the survival thriller Manjummel Boys.
For Rishab, the sports drama is a new genre. His slate is packed: Jai Hanuman releases November 20, 2026, followed by Kantara Chapter 2 and 3 and The Pride of Bharat.
Chidambaram’s recent Balan earned critical praise. The director is known for unconventional narratives and deep emotional storytelling.
An official announcement with full details is expected soon. The collaboration has already generated strong buzz among cinema fans across Karnataka and beyond, with trade watchers predicting a wide multilingual release.
