Rishab Shetty is an actor who raised the bar for the Indian entertainment industry on a whole new level in the year 2022 with his sole holding and the cinematic gem, 'Kantara'. The film received widespread acclaim on both domestic and international levels and it dominated the box office by becoming a global box office phenomenon. Amidst the preparation for the prequel of 'Kantara', Rishab Shetty along with his wife Pragathi Shetty graced the grand celebration of Pran Pratishtha Mahotasav in the divine land of Ayodhya on being invited by the Indian Government.

On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi graced the Ram Mandir inauguration as the chief guest. Around 8000 celebrated guests were invited to the grand occasion. Among the esteemed guest list were Rishab Shetty, his wife Pragathi Shetty, and filmmaker Rohit Shetty. Vicky Kaushal can be seen unintentionally photobombing the Shetty trio.

The Shetty trio met during the Ram Mandir inauguration and also clicked a picture to mark the moment. The 'Singham' director took to his social media handle to share a picture with Rishab and his wife and wrote, "Brother from another mother....The 'Shetty' gang @rishabshettyofficial".

Meanwhile, Rishab Shetty is looking forward to taking the audiences back to its roots and culture with the prequel 'Kantara Chapter 1'. The actor who served as director and writer proved his brilliance and distinctive storytelling, and now has begun working on the much-awaited prequel 'Kantara: Chapter 1'

At the Pran Prathistha, Bollywood also rallied up, and we saw who's who of the tinsel town fly down to the holy city to pay their respects to Lord Ram. While there were many, including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal, Katrina Kaif, Rohit Shetty, and more, it is the latter that has caught the attention of the netizens.

You ask how? Well, by posting an interesting video on his official Instagram handle. Rohit Shetty, who attended the consecration with his friends from the fraternity, shared a video from the same. Shot by Vicky, it has Shetty, Katrina, Ranbir, and Alia. The reel also has a few glimpses from the grand morning and the beautiful surroundings of the temple. However, what caught the attention of the netizens is the shot of a helicopter showering rose petals on the Ram Mandir.

In the comments section, fans and followers of Rohit Shetty are happy and also quirky. Some claim that it was Rohit Shetty who gave the organizers the idea to do it. The reference is the use of helicopters in his movies. The last time was, of course, Sooryavanshi where Akshay Kumar had an elaborate stunt on it. He was even introduced as a part of his next Singham Again on a helicopter. Reacting to the scene at Ram Mandir, a fan wrote, "Ye Chopper Wala Idea Jarur Rohit Shetty Ka Hi Hoga." Another wrote, "Rohit sir ye aapka helicopter hoga pakka."
