Rishab Shetty to Star in Prashanth Varma’s Jai Hanuman
After the massive success of Kantara: Chapter 1, Rishab Shetty is now gearing up for his next cinematic venture. The actor has been confirmed to star in the sequel to Hanu-Man, directed by Prashanth Varma.
Titled Jai Hanuman, the upcoming film will center entirely on the story of Lord Hanuman, promising an epic narrative. The shoot is slated to begin in December 2025, with Prashanth Varma currently engaged in pre-production preparations. At present, Rishab Shetty is fully focused on Jai Hanuman and is not involved in any other projects.
Recently, Rishab Shetty visited the Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysore, where he offered prayers and officially announced that Jai Hanuman will be his next film. While there had been discussions about Kantara: Chapter 2, nothing has been finalized regarding his involvement.
In addition to Jai Hanuman, Rishab Shetty has The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, directed by Sandeep Singh, on his slate. Meanwhile, Prashanth Varma has Zombie Reddy 2 in the pipeline but will not be directing it, allowing him to fully dedicate himself to Jai Hanuman. With both the actor and director aligned, expectations are high for this mythological spectacle.
Devi Sri Prasad to Make Acting Debut in Dil Raju’s Yellamma
Renowned music composer Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), who was briefly seen on-screen in Attarintiki Daredi during the song ‘Ninnu Choodagane Chitti Gunde’, is all set to make a full-fledged acting debut in Dil Raju’s highly anticipated project, Yellamma. While DSP is widely celebrated for his music and stage performances, his on-screen appearances have been minimal — making this development even more exciting for fans and film enthusiasts alike.
Initially, actors like Nani, Nithiin, and Bellamkonda Srinivas were considered for the project, but after delays in their decisions, sources confirm that DSP is now almost finalized and locked for the role. The news has already generated a significant buzz among his followers.
The film is directed by Venu Yeldandi, who won acclaim for his work on Balagam. Audiences are eager to see if Venu can recreate the magic with DSP in front of the camera. The combination of DSP’s star power and Yeldandi’s directional finesse has created considerable anticipation.
This move follows a trend where other music directors, such as GV Prakash, are also exploring acting careers. In the past, Thaman had made his acting debut with Boys, though he did not continue on-screen afterward. It will be fascinating to watch how DSP’s acting journey unfolds and whether he can carve a niche as a performer in addition to his celebrated musical career.
