What if Rakshith Shetty just turns up out of nowhere and says - we’re starting with Thugs Of Malgudi 🗿

30 years. Infinite gratitude. 🎬❤️ Standing here after three decades in this crazy, beautiful film world, my heart is just… full. From a boy with dreams, doubts and wild hope to whatever this has become — it’s bigger than I ever imagined because of YOU. Fans — you’re my strength, my fuel, my reason to keep showing up. Directors & writers — thank you for trusting me with your stories, for pushing, challenging and believing I could do more. Producers — your courage and faith made dreams happen. Co-actors & every single technician — cinema is pure teamwork: from the light boys to the cameramen, art teams to costume, spot boys to editors — your unseen sweat is everything. To television & media — you amplified my voice, questioned me, celebrated me and helped me grow. To the Kannada film fraternity — you gave me identity, pride and home; I carry Kannada cinema in my heart always. And to my family & friends — you kept me real, grounded and human through it all. If 30 years taught me one thing, it’s humility: every success is borrowed. I promise to keep working harder, to honor the craft and to give back everything cinema has given me. With folded hands and a grateful heart — thank you, from the bottom of me. 🙏🌟🎥 .... L&H's ❤️🤗 Ķ
