The buzz this week is simple yet juicy: Rishab Shetty is pairing with Chidambaram for a brand‑new sports drama, with production slated to kick off next year.
Shibu Thameens is on board as producer, and while the script and cast are still under wraps, the fact that this is the first time the duo has worked together has fans speculating wildly about the story’s twist.
But it’s not just the track‑ball. The second leg of the deal is the mythic epic “Jai Hanuman,” where Shetty reprises his role as the monkey‑god, and Babu Rana Daggubati makes a cameo that has fans already chanting the duo’s names. The film is penciled in for a 2027 release, giving the team a neat window to juggle both projects.
Chidambaram’s résumé reads like a catalogue of unconventional thrillers: from the razor‑sharp “Manjummel Boys” to the psychological plunge of “Balan: The Boy.” His knack for gritty storytelling contrasts sharply with Shetty’s charismatic, mass‑appeal persona, promising a blend that could either crack the box office or rattle the genre.
What’s next? The pair have announced that plot details will drop in the next few weeks, and Shetty’s own social feeds hint at a behind‑the‑scenes sneak peek. For a star who’s already juggling a mythic saga and a sports drama, the coming months are set to be a roller‑coaster of releases and revelations.
