the Shettys have tasted a tinge of success this year starting with Rishab Shetty starrer and directed Kantara to Rakshit Shetty’s 777 Charlie which proved to be a massive hit. In a recent interview, Rishab spoke about how he and his colleague had to give away tickets for free to the people as they would not attend the launch.
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Rishab spilled the beans about his friendship with Rakshit. “We are friends, more than brothers. We are emotionally connected and professionally too. We didn’t start out very well though. There were hardly any opportunities. The films we did were not working,” he said.
“We used to stand outside theatre screening our film and request people to go watch it, giving tickets away. But those people would sell the ticket for ₹10 to buy booze. That was also a time we faced. But now, our work is being appreciated by people and everyone is supporting,” the actor-director said.
Kantara, the Rishab Shetty directorial have gained a massive ₹250 crore worldwide. While 777 Charlie opened up in the box office positively at ₹103 crore worldwide. Both topping the charts as one of the highest grossing Kannada films to date.
