The second track from Fraud Rishi, titled 'Ivane Ivane Fraud Rishi', has officially been released. Rishi, who stars in the film, also directs, produces, and wrote its music. Known for the hit track 'Olitu Madu Manusha', Rishi worked with composer Shreeguru and singer Somasekhar to create this song, which producer K Manju unveiled. The track is available for streaming on Rishi’s official YouTube channel.
Speaking about the project, Rishi shared his thoughts on filmmaking: “Making a film doesn’t require money; it requires a strong, cohesive team. A good team means people genuinely care for each other. When they grow, we celebrate their success, and when we grow, they do the same. Conflicts over small matters are inevitable, but the right team rises above them.”
Rishi highlighted his preference for working with passionate actors rather than just professionals. “There are two types of actors: professionals who need to be paid, and those driven by passion who contribute without it. I seek out the latter—the ones willing to collaborate because they love the craft.”
Filming for Fraud Rishi will begin on October 10, with a planned release in December. Although it isn’t a big-budget production, Rishi assures audiences that the content is engaging. The film features eight songs, including three of Rishi’s previous hits, with Shankar handling cinematography.
Regarding the title, Rishi explained, “Why ‘Fraud Rishi’? You’ll understand after watching. ‘Fraud’ typically refers to cheaters. We often try to change others, but first, we need to see how much we’ve changed ourselves. Society may reject labeling others as frauds, but if we call ourselves frauds, no one questions it. That’s the idea behind the title.”
