[Watch] Rishab Shetty Says Bollywood Presents India In Negative Light; What About Woman’s Waist-Pinching Scene In Kantara? Ask Netizens

New Delhi: Actor-director Rishab Shetty, who recently bagged the National Award for Kantara, recently criticised Bollywood, saying that it presents films in a negative light worldwide. Speaking with MetroSaga, Rishab reportedly said that he believes in presenting his “nation, state, and language” in a positive light.

Times of India quoted Rishab speaking to MetroSaga in Kannada, “Indian films, particularly Bollywood, often portray India negatively. These so-called art films get showcased at international events and receive special attention. For me, my nation, my state, and my language are sources of pride. I believe in presenting them in a positive light to the world, and that’s exactly what I strive to do.”

Another person said, “This guy made one hit movie and is now thinking he’s some Steven Spielberg. Kantara is an overhyped movie with little to no rewatch value and got lucky with the anti-Bollywood wave that opened up avenues for regional cinema.” Another comment read, “When these South Indian Actors gonna stop playing and pinching womens’ waist/stomach? It’s so uncomfortable to watch.” “Real hypocrisy lies there; it’s easier to jump on the Bollywood hate train, but these people need to seriously introspect their own film industries,” said another person.

Recently, Rishab won the Best Actor in a Leading Role award at the 70th National Film Awards for his directorial film Kantara. Set in the fictional village of Dakshina Kannada, Kantara follows the character of Rishab, who essays the character of a Kambala champion who has a faceoff with an upright Forest Range officer. Written and directed by Rishab Shetty and produced by Vijay Kiragandur, the film was released on September 30, 2022. Meanwhile, he’s currently filming for the prequel, Kantara: Chapter 1.
