Kannada actor Rishab Shetty, who won the Best Actor in a Leading Role award at the 70th National Film Awards for his directorial film 'Kantara' is receiving flak for his statement on Bollywood films. Rishab, who is on a promotional spree for his upcoming film 'Laughing Buddha' said that Bollywood shows India in a bad light. 

In an interview with MetroSaga, Rishab said, "Indian films, especially Bollywood, show India in a bad light. These art films are invited to global events and given a red carpet-welcome. My nation, my state, my language is my pride. Why not show it on a positive note? That's what I am trying to do."
