Rishab Shetty and Hombale Films Show Distance on 'Kantara Chapter 1' Anniversary
On the first anniversary of 'Kantara Chapter 1,' Rishab Shetty and production house Hombale Films posted separate celebratory messages without acknowledging each other, sparking speculation of a rift. Shetty unfollowed Hombale Films and co-stars on social media, and his anniversary post omitted mention of the studio. Industry insiders suggest creative differences or an ego clash over control and future projects may be behind the apparent distancing, though no official explanation has been provided.
