"Kantara" star Rishab Shetty has adopted a Kannada government school in his hometown Keradi in southern Karnataka.
According to a member of Shetty's team, the actor-filmmaker lent his support to the school through the Rishab Shetty Foundation, which was launched earlier this year.
Shetty previously raised awareness about the plight of Kannada schools through his 2018 hit film "Sarkari Hi. Pra. Shaale, Kasaragodu". The Kannada film won the National Award for best children's film.
Shetty has started preparing for "Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1", the prequel to his 2022 hit "Kantara". The new film will explore the reign of Kadamba Dynasty, the ancient royal family of Karnataka.
