Popular actor and director Rishab Shetty, widely celebrated for his blockbuster film Kantara, recently spent quality time at the historical heritage site of Hampi in Hosapete taluk. The actor’s visit to the ancient city sparked immense excitement among locals and tourists alike.
Spiritual Visit to Yantrodharaka Temple
Rishab Shetty visited the famous Yantrodharaka Hanuman Temple, one of the most sacred spots in Hampi. He offered special prayers to Lord Hanuman and spent some peaceful moments observing the spiritual and historical significance of the temple.
Following his temple visit, the actor was seen strolling along the picturesque banks of the Tungabhadra River, enjoying the serene landscape of the Vijayanagara Empire's ruins.
Fan Frenzy for Selfies
As news of the "Divine Star's" presence spread, a large number of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor. Despite his low-profile visit, Rishab was quickly surrounded by enthusiastic supporters. The actor, known for his humble nature, patiently interacted with the crowd. However, the situation turned chaotic as fans vied with one another to click selfie photos with their favorite star, forcing security and local staff to step in to manage the crowd.
Temple Run Continues
This visit is part of a series of spiritual journeys Rishab Shetty has undertaken recently. Just a few days ago, on December 24, 2025, the actor, along with his wife Pragathi Shetty, visited the Anjanadri Hills in Koppal district, where he climbed 575 steps to seek blessings at the birthplace of Lord Hanuman.
Rishab is currently deeply involved in the production of the highly anticipated prequel, Kantara: Chapter 1, which explores the origins of the Panjurli Daiva worship.
