Rishab is filled with excitement as he talks about donning the role of Hanuman. Speaking exclusively with CE, he shares, “When I went to Ayodhya with my wife Pratagi, before visiting the Ram temple, I went to the Hanuman temple the day before. Maybe I was destined to play this role. I am a Hanuman devotee, and it is a true blessing.”
Playing Hanuman is no ordinary role, but Rishab feels confident. He expressed his enthusiasm for Prasanth Varma’s story, stating, “I was thrilled when I heard the story from the director. Moreover, I know how Prasanth took off with his debut film, HanuManwhich began similarly to Kantarawhich started as a regional film and grew into a pan-India hit. Our thoughts aligned as we collaborated on Jai Hanuman.”
