Post the release of Hero, Rishab Shetty’s focus has been on completing the shoot of Harikathe Alla Girikathe. Rishab, who is currently shooting for the film, says, “We are on the verge of completing the talkie portions in the next two days. After that, we will wrap the film with a song shoot.”

The comedy-drama, produced by Sandesh Productions and Rishab Shetty Films, has two directors Karan Ananth and Anirudh Mahesh at the helm. The film has been written by Giri Krishna, who was originally supposed to direct as well.

Harikathe Alla Girikathe will see Rishab playing the lead role of the struggling filmmaker. “The story will give a glimpse of struggling filmmakers and their lifestyles. It is wrapped in humour and will attract all kinds of audiences, including families,” says Rishab about the film that stars Thapashwini and Rachana Inder as the female leads. He plans to release Harikathe Alla Girikathe by September.  

Meanwhile, Rishab is looking forward to the release of Garuda Gamana Vrishaba Vahana. Directed by actor Raj B Shetty, the film is slated for release on June 4. Rishab also plans to start shooting for director Jayathirtha’s Bell Bottom sequel in June.
