Start the week with the film: Brotherhood and betrayal in ‘Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana’

The three Shettys of Kannada cinema – Rishab, Rakshit and Raj – are ruling the roost. The influential trio is involved with some of the most noteworthy films in recent years as actors, directors or producers.

Rishab Shetty directed and starred in the blockbuster Kantara: Chapter 1, the Kantara prequel that came out a few weeks ago. Raj B Shetty produced and had a role in the breakout hit Su From So that was released in July. Fans of Rakshit Shetty are still reeling from his lead performance in Hemanth M Rao’s two-parter Sapta Saagaradaache Ello (2023).

The Shettys have worked closely with each other in various capacities, apart from dipping into the same pool of actors and technicians for their productions. For instance, Rishab Shetty directed Rakshit Shetty in Kirik Party in 2016. Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana (2021) brings together Kannada cinema’s trinity in one place.

Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana, which is available on ZEE5, is co-produced by Rakshit Shetty and directed by Raj B Shetty. The director stars alongside Rishab Shetty in a brooding saga of brotherhood, loyalty and betrayal.
