Kannada actor-director Rishab Shetty has added another feather to his cap. Rishabh, who created magic with his visual Tamashe Kantara, won the Critics’ Choice Best Actor award for the film. The 39-year-old recently attended the Zee Critics Choice Awards on April 14, which was also attended by veteran stars from the film fraternity. Elated with his success, Rishabh shared a bunch of pictures on his social media handle proudly flaunting his award. Along with the pictures, the Kantara star penned a heart-warming note, expressing her gratitude to the public for their unwavering love towards her.

“Grateful to be honored with the Best Actor award from Team Critics’ Choice. I am eternally grateful for this love and blessings. Dressed in his quintessential style, Rishabh wore a simple black shirt which he teamed with white panache with a black border.

Talking about his minimalistic accessories, the talented director wore a vintage gray watch and beaded bracelets with a black frame and round glasses. In the pictures, Rishabh was seen giving a speech on the stage, with a beaming smile on his face.

Rishabh’s winning achievement was appreciated in the comments by social media users who left congratulatory messages for him. While an overwhelmed user said, “No matter how high you have become, you have not forgotten our culture which is a pleasure for us… Looking awesome sir,” another said, “Indeed, you are the best actor and a wonderful human being. Your humble nature, passion and dedication towards your work makes you outstanding.” Others added myriad red hearts and fire emojis.

Releasing last year in 2022, Kanatara also starred Saptami Gowda, Achyuth Kumar, Kishore Kumar G, Manasi Sudheer and Prakash Thuminad in pivotal roles. The film exposes the traditional practices and customs of coastal Karnataka amid growing betrayal and corruption in the tribal community. As per the reports, Kantara has exceeded the expectations of the public by earning more than 300 crores at the box office.

Earlier, on the occasion of Ugadi, on March 22, production house Homeable Films announced that the scripting of the much-awaited prequel to Kantara, Kantara 2, has begun. An excerpt from the announcement read, “We can’t wait to bring you another captivating story that showcases our connection with nature. Stay tuned for more updates.”
