Happy Birthday Rakshit Shetty: 5 Movies Of The Versatile Actor That Should Be On Your Binge-Watch List!
Multifaceted star Rakshit Shetty never misses a chance to entertain the audience with some good and enthralling content. The handsome hunk's tremendous evolution from Nam Areal Ond Dina to previously released Avane Srimannarayana has only given more reasons to fans to swoon over him.
From starting off his career as a short filmmaker, the star began his acting stint with the 2010 film Nam Areal Ond Dina helmed by Aravind Kaushik. Post three years of its release, the actor made a massive breakthrough with his second outing Simple Agi Ondh Love Story that released in 2013. Interestingly, with each passing year, the star has been seen outspreading his branches and playing multiple roles on and off-screen including that of an actor, director, producer and sometimes writer.
When it comes to films, multitasking is not a cakewalk. However, Raskhit has only proved the conviction wrong every single time with his immense effort, commitment and passion towards each project. For the charmer, balancing has been the key and it surely has made him one of the irreplaceable talents of Sandalwood, who is now all set to enchant a wider audience with his next 777 Charlie.
