Rishabh Shetty Credits Yakshagana for Film Inspiration

Rishabh Shetty is a famous actor and filmmaker.

He recently talked about how an old art form called Yakshagana inspired his work.

He started acting when he was in 6th grade, and Yakshagana was his first experience.

Yakshagana is a traditional performance art that tells stories from Indian mythology, like Ramayana and Mahabharata.

These stories have been performed for about 500 years.

Rishabh Shetty said that Yakshagana helped him understand and share these important stories in his films.

He feels grateful for this art form and its impact on his career.
