Rishi Returns as a Cop in Rudhra Garuda Purana

Initially apprehensive about taking on a similar role after Kavaludaari, Rishi shares that he waited for a script that would challenge the stereotype. “This film offers a fresh perspective. I play Rudhra, an officer in the horse and band wing of the police department, a lesser-explored aspect in Kannada cinema,” he says.

Reflecting on the role, Rishi highlights how cops are often underappreciated for their dedication and unique skills in managing criminals and solving complex cases. Directed by K S Nandeesh, Rudhra Garuda Purana promises authenticity, drawing from meticulously researched real-life cases. The film also features Priyanka alongside Rishi, with a narrative that aims to resonate with the public, particularly in today’s crime-conscious society.
