As an outsider looking in, it's fascinating to see how Bollywood and Indian cinema are blending mythology with modern storytelling. Rishab's journey from Kantara to playing Lord Hanuman is incredible. I'm curious to see how this film will be received internationally—it has the potential to be a global hit.

Love how Rishab Shetty is using his stardom to highlight our culture and history.

Let's see if this meeting translates into real action for the Kannada film industry. 🤔
