Actor Rishab Shetty has put his heart and soul into his upcoming film, ‘Kantara: Chapter 1’. Earlier, Instagram, he shared a glimpse of his intense training.
In the post, he can be seen deeply focused during his Kalaripayattu session and the dedication on his face said it all. The actor kept the caption simple, adding just a heart-shaped emoticon.
