Rishab Shetty, currently one of the busiest names in Indian cinema, has clarified his filming schedule for the much-awaited projects Jai Hanuman and The Pride of Bharat – Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Fresh off the success of his recent ventures, Rishab shared on his birthday that these two major roles will not be filmed simultaneously due to their demanding nature.

Discussing his approach in a recent interview, Rishab stated, “I have the two films happening back to back. I cannot multitask and do two films simultaneously, so it will be Jai Hanuman followed by The Pride of Bharat – Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.” He further explained the importance of maintaining distinct looks for each character, which requires dedicated preparation time.

Jai Hanuman, directed by Prashanth Varma, is set to be Rishab’s next big release, while the historical epic on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj will be helmed by Sandeep Singh. The actor’s revelation has generated considerable discussion among fans, who are eager to see his transformation in these contrasting roles.

With Jai Hanuman set to arrive before The Pride of Bharat – Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, audiences can look forward to witnessing Rishab Shetty’s versatility on the silver screen in the coming months.
