Even as audiences wait for news on Rakshit Shetty’s next steps and when he will start shooting the much-anticipated Richard Anthony, fresh discussions have surfaced about a project that could place the actor in a new and intriguing role. Sources say Rakshit has been approached for a biopic inspired by the life of Shivakumariah, a former soldier who went on to build a successful business career as the founder of the Sparsh Masala brand. There is no official confirmation yet, but the chatter has already caught the attention of industry insiders.
The speculation is backed by the rich life story that the film promises to tell. Shivakumariah reportedly served during the Kargil conflict before transitioning to civilian life and facing the challenges of entrepreneurship, ultimately building a business worth several crores. If this project develops, the film could showcase a journey marked by discipline, loss, ambition, and personal growth, along with the quieter struggles that come with life in the military.
Sources suggest the narrative may unfold in two emotional segments. The first highlights the intensity and vulnerability of military service, marked by duty and high-stakes choices. The second centres on rebuilding, learning to take different kinds of risks, and forming an identity beyond the battlefield. Rather than a simple success story, the film is likely to delve into the personal costs and resilience behind this transformation.
For Rakshit, who often chooses deep, character-focused projects, this film fits well with his artistic sensibilities, if the talks translate into something concrete.
The actor also has a busy slate, with Richard Anthony, Punyakoti, and Midway to Moksha expected to begin production. Sources indicate that he is eager to return to filming soon, balancing his acting roles with production responsibilities.
For now, the project remains under speculation. Still, the concept of a story that intertwines conflict, bravery, and personal growth remains a compelling one, continuing to evoke interest.
