IndyaStory | Rishab Shetty has triggered a wave of speculation after eagle-eyed fans noticed a change in his Instagram following list on March 27, 2026.
Social media trackers pointed out that the Kantara star appears to have unfollowed key collaborators, including Rukmini Vasanth and Raj B Shetty, both associated with the expanding Kantara universe.
What’s Fueling the Speculation?
The buzz intensified when reports suggested that even the official account of Hombale Films was no longer on his following list.
However, an interesting detail has kept fans guessing—Rishab Shetty still follows Vijay Kiragandur, the founder of Hombale Films.
This has led many to believe:
- It could be a technical glitch
- A personal social media cleanup
- Or simply unrelated to any professional fallout
As of now, no official statement has confirmed any disagreement.
No Confirmation of Rift
Sources close to the development suggest there is no verified conflict between the parties involved. Without confirmation, the situation remains speculative and largely driven by online observations.
About Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1
Rishab Shetty is currently leading Kantara: A Legend Chapter-1, the much-anticipated prequel to the 2022 blockbuster Kantara.
The film dives deeper into the origins of the story, exploring:
- The divine spirits Panjurli Daiva and Guliga Daiva
- A historical conflict between royalty and tribal communities
The project also features actors like Jayaram and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles.
What’s Next for Rishab Shetty?
Beyond Kantara, Rishab Shetty is gearing up for a major mythological film, Jai Hanuman, directed by Prasanth Varma.
He will reportedly portray Lord Hanuman, marking one of the most ambitious roles of his career. The film officially commenced with a ceremony in Hampi in February 2026.
Final Take
While Rishab Shetty’s Instagram activity has sparked widespread chatter, there is no concrete evidence of a fallout with his Kantara collaborators.
Until an official clarification emerges, the situation remains a case of social media speculation rather than confirmed controversy.
