I don’t believe in either excitement or expectations, honestly. But, there would be that moment in the recent past where you must have wondered ‘how is this happening, and what is this success that I am seeing.’
Rishab Shetty speaks about his journey in the film industry (Photo: Jyoti Desale for ) VK: Rishab, you’ve been saying that you haven’t really realised the magnitude of your success yet.
There’s a mystery in our nature and our culture. If you get into the technicalities of it, you might or might not get the answer. RS: That’s what the legends are all about. VK: Is this the ‘legend’ part from your film’s title ‘Kantara – A Legend’ then? I have heard enough stories and legends about Daiva Kola and our God while growing up, to take a few anecdotes and fit them into my narrative to make it more interesting. RS: However, I’ll tell you that it was my imagination though. I don’t want to give any definition to those scenes. That scene and the climax scene which shows the son reuniting with his father – I think both these scenes are meant for the audience to decode. Not everything needs to be explained or discussed. That’s an idea that we write and shoot for the audience to process.
