The story of 'Thangalaan' is set against the backdrop of the historic Kolar gold fields (KGF) in the early 1900s. It narrates the forgotten role of oppressed communities in the exploration of gold in southern India.

Coming back to Rishab Shetty, he is currently shooting for 'Kantara' prequel, which is said to be releasing in December 2024.
