Karan Tacker rings in his 34th birthday in lockdown

Indian television heartthrob Karan Tacker, who is presently basking in the huge success of his debut webseries Special OPS, rings in his 34th birthday today. The actor is delighted to be at home and spending his special day with his mother.

“Festivals and occasional days are always with family as they are the most special people in my life. I will surely miss meeting my friends on my birthday, this year. Looking back, there is so much to be thankful for this year with my web-show doing so well and people appreciating my work. It is a happy feeling,” says the actor.

Karan is a fitness freak. He cannot miss his work outs no matter what. The actor has been working out regularly even during the lockdown. “When the lockdown started, it was all about making the most of the time that I had on hand, and I have been helping out at home but every week has its own challenges. Working out in my building compound has been working for me, and I finish my work out early in the morning and evening. We get veggies in our building and no one needs to go out and we have a huge parking space, which is where I run. We are allowed to run inside the building.

However, the actor is missing boxing as he used to love doing it. “This phase has taught us all to be minimalistic. Like I have learnt how to train with one bar. Once we go back to being normal, a lot of gyms are going to shut down as they won’t be able to survive the economy. That breaks my heart. Gyms are tough to turn around as the rents and equipment are expensive,” concludes the actor.

Rishab Shetty channels the spirit of Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt in Kantara Chapter 1

Rishab Shetty revives Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt’s golden era through 'Kantara Chapter 1'

Highlights:

  • Shetty moves from regional hit to franchise builder with Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1
  • The original Kantara put his name on the map; the new film widens the canvas
  • He writes, directs and acts- the rare triple threat Indian cinema once celebrated
  • The work is rooted in folklore and ritual, not spectacle, and that still lands with audiences
  • It’s a practical, working model of old-school creative vision today

Rishab Shetty’s path feels oddly familiar. Indian cinema once had figures who wrote, directed and starred in their own films, names such as Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. It looks like Shetty does the same work now. After the success of Kantara, he returned with the newly released Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, again as actor, writer and director. The result is less a throwback and more a clear line of continuity: cinema made by one person who will not cede the story.
