What's Drama Around Rishab Shetty Unfollowing Spree & Rift With Rakshit & Raj? Pramod Breaks Silence

In a recent interaction with TV9 Kannada, Pramod addressed rumours sparked by social media activity-particularly speculation around Rishab Shetty allegedly unfollowing close friends.

"Honestly, I don't know anything about it," Pramod admitted, dismissing theories of a fallout. He suggested that such changes could simply be the work of professional social media teams or external agencies managing celebrity accounts. "When someone reaches a certain level, their social media is often handled by teams. They might have their own strategies-like limiting follows," he explained.

According to him, Rishab now appears to be following only a handful of accounts, including his production house and fan pages-a move that may have been misinterpreted by fans.

What's important, Pramod stressed, is that nothing has changed off-screen.

"We were together the previous day. We've spoken on the phone even after that. There's nothing unusual," he said, brushing aside any notion of tension.

He also spoke about Rakshit Shetty, revealing that the actor has largely stepped away from social media for quite some time now. "Rakshit is in his own world, busy writing scripts. He's already completed three to four scripts and is planning back-to-back shoots. Once he starts, people will wonder where he's been because he'll be that busy," Pramod shared.

The actor painted a picture of a creative circle deeply immersed in their craft rather than distracted by online narratives. He added that while Rakshit may not always respond to calls immediately, it's simply because he is engrossed in writing, often keeping his phone on silent. "He replies-maybe the same day or the next. It depends on his mood and work," he said.

Importantly, Pramod emphasised that the bond between the group remains intact. Whether it's collaborating professionally, helping each other with dubbing work, or simply staying in touch, the camaraderie continues.

He also mentioned being in regular contact with Raj B. Shetty, who is currently in Chennai working on a project with Vijay Sethupathi. "I spoke to him recently regarding an event. He responded well. Everything is normal," he noted.

For Pramod, the real concern seems to be how narratives are shaped externally. "I just hope I don't start feeling something because of what the media says," he admitted with a smile, hinting at the power of perception in the digital age.

He signed off with clarity: "There is no misunderstanding. I have no issues with anyone, and no one has issues with me. I'm at peace."
