The International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, the world's largest film festival, was cut short midway. As a special moment of this year's festival, superstar Rajinikanth was honored for completing 50 years in Indian cinema . After this, many people have been praising Rajinikanth through social media and the media. The latest addition to the list is Rishab Shetty , the creator and star of the ' Kantara ' film series. He was the special guest at the IFFI Goa final event.



Rishab Shetty calls Rajinikanth the inspirationSpeaking at the event, Rishab Shetty shared that Rajinikanth was the biggest inspiration that inspired thousands of young people, including himself, to come to cinema. “I pray that you continue to serve Indian cinema for many more years,” he said warmly regarding the lifetime achievement award presented to Rajinikanth.



Karnataka govt crowns RishabAfter the moment of honoring Rajinikanth, Rishabh Shetty was also presented with a special crown on behalf of representatives of the Kannada government. This crown was given in recognition of the record-breaking collection of over Rs. 800 crores worldwide for 'Kantara: Chapter 1'. The crowned man called Rishab the “King of Karnataka”, a term that expressed the box office dominance of his film. The success of the film 'Kantara', which combines the beliefs, culture, and divine aspects of the people, is being praised for showing the world a new height of South Indian cinema . Rajinikanth's legacy continues to inspire young creators like Rishab Shetty. On one hand, the global success of Kantara, and on the other, Rajinikanth's half-century of achievement — both of these together further illuminate the rise of South Indian cinema.
