Meet actor who used to sell water, worked in hotels, then became superstar, gave all time superhit film that earned Rs..

Rishab Shetty, till two years ago was known only in the South film industry, but now is a popular name in India. The reason for it is the success of 'Kantara'. The film, made in just Rs 16 crore, earned over Rs 415 crore worldwide.

Rishab Shetty was the writer, director, and actor of 'Kantara' and became super successful after the film was released. However, to succeed, he had to struggle for nearly 20 years. Sometimes he sold water bottles and cans to make a living and sometimes he did odd jobs in hotels.

Rishab Shetty entered films as a spot boy. Rishab Shetty was born in 1983 in the Kadri neighborhood in Mangaluru City of Dakshina Kannada district, Karnataka to a Bunt family. He actively participated in plays while studying in Bengaluru and his success there inspired him to pursue a career in films.

Due to his non-filmy background, Rishab Shetty had no idea about the film world, so after a lot of research, he decided to pursue a diploma in film direction along with his studies. Rishab, who belongs to a middle-class family, did not want to trouble his parents for his studies and living, so he did many small jobs. He worked selling water bottles and cans.

After this, he did a small job in a hotel. He also tried his hand in real estate but his mind was only set on acting. This was the reason that after leaving all the work and earning a diploma in film direction, Rishab decided to enter the film industry.

Rishab started as a spot boy in a film and he was also a clap boy in so.
