The actor, who starred in and produced ”777 Charlie”, said he is elated to be recognised by the country for the 2022 film. ”It feels great because you work on a film for two-three years and finally you get the biggest recognition from the country,” Shetty told PTI.

He also gave an update on his future projects.

”Right now, I’m preparing for the ‘Sapta Sagaradaache Ello – Side B’ release. After that, I’ll be going on floors with ‘Richard Anthony’,” he added.

”Sapta Sagaradaache Ello – Side B” is set 10 years after the events of ”Sapta Sagaradaache Ello – Side A”, which was released on September 1. The romantic drama film series is directed by Hemant M Rao. Shetty has produced the franchise and also stars in it alongside Rukmini Vasantha.
