Rishab Shetty, who made his debut as a full-fledged hero in Bell Bottom, is thrilled about the Jayathirtha directorial hitting the 100-day mark, which is a big deal in today’s scenario. “Films are gauged by the number of shows at single-screen theatres and multiplexes. A film with a superstar recovers their investment in the first three days. To top it, along with Kannada films, we also have to compete with other language films coming every week. With all this competition, Bell Bottom having a successful 100-day run in 20-plus centres is something my team and I are proud of,” says Rishab. 

The success has only pushed the actor to shoulder bigger responsibilities. Offers have been pouring in for Rishab, we’re told. “As of now, I am committed to Samarth Kadkol’s Antagoni Shetty. I have another film which is directed by Karan. This yet-to-be-titled project will also see me working as a creative director. I am also in discussion with a couple of other directors,” he says.

In between his acting schedule, Rishab is also determined to start with his directorial this year. “Starting off this year is sure. However, I would want to officially talk about it once I am ready with the project,” he says.
