Set to hit the big screen in a mythological guise, Rishab Shetty is back after redefining storytelling in Indian cinema with the success of Kantara. Now, shetty’s ambitious next project is Jai Hanuman in which he will don the role of the revered Hindu God, Lord Hanuman—and the first-look poster has already sent the internet into a frenzy.

The poster captures Rishab Hanuman’s furious yet divine spiritual energy.

Physical Appearance: Long hair bunched into a ponytail, thick beard, and body covered with rudraksha beads.

Physique: Broad and muscular frame with constricted biceps representing Hanuman’s mighty strength.

Attire: Red cloth dhoti draped around the body with a sacred idol of Lord Ram in the hand.

Facial Expression: Calm yet power wielding with Vishnu tilak on forehead, hinting strong devotion.

Both fans and critics have applauded this look for its power and fierce authenticity which is considered one of the strongest depiction of Hanuman in contemporary cinema.

A Career Built on Cultural and Mythological Excellence

Rishab Shetty received widespread recognition, as well as a National Award, for his role as Shiva in Kantara, a character steeped in local folklore and divine embodiment. He delivers one of the most remarkable performances in Indian cinema in recent years during his powerful Bhoota Kola sequence.

In Jai Hanuman, Shetty is expected to once again push the envelope of spirituality in cinema with deep character exploration and retelling narratives infused with the highest levels of spirituality.

What’s Next for Rishab Shetty?

In addition to Jai Hanuman, Rishab is also working on two major upcoming projects:

Kantara: Chapter 1 - The highly awaited prequel to Kantara, which will explore the mythical origins in greater detail.

The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj - A biographical drama focusing on the life of the great Maratha warrior king.

Through all of these endeavors, Shri Rishab Shedty will present to the world his interpretation of culture and history, regionally appealing yet nationally relevant.
