When Kantara Meets Spidey: Rishab Shetty Teams Up for Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Ahead of the highly anticipated theatrical arrival of Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 30, National Award-winning actor-director Rishab Shetty teamed up with Sony Pictures India for a fun, relatable promotional video celebrating the web-slinger.
In the video, the Kantara star unexpectedly crosses paths with Spider-Man on a film set, bonding over how Peter Parker's journey mirrors the struggles of real life.
"Watched Him in Single Screens Years Ago" – Rishab Shetty
Reflecting on his childhood memories and enduring admiration for the superhero, Rishab Shetty shared how Peter Parker influenced him as a person and artist:
"I still vividly remember watching Spider-Man for the first time in a local single-screen theatre years ago and instantly connecting with Peter Parker. He reminds us that it's okay to stumble, make mistakes, and go through heartbreak as long as we keep the goodness inside us intact."
— Rishab Shetty
Rishab added that the iconic lesson—"With great power comes great responsibility"—remains timeless across generations. Today, that excitement has passed down to his kids, who made him pre-book tickets so the family can watch Tom Holland’s latest adventure together on opening day.
