Rishi Rithvik is an Indian film actor, who has appeared in lead roles in Tamil-language films.

Career

Ritvik began his career as an athlete and competed professionally between 2001 and 2007, before moving on to work as a computer software engineer. He was later offered the lead acting role in Rathan Linga's directorial debut Attu (2017), where he portrayed a Chennai-based gangster. To prepare for the role, Rishi lost weight and interacted with real-life gangsters from the region. The film opened to positive reviews but took a low-key opening at the Chennai-based office. As a result, a further film planned with Rathan Linga, Ugramm co-starring R. K. Suresh, and Sillaakki Dumma by Maran Kandhaswamy. were also put on hold.

Rishi played a police officer in his second release, Marijuana (2020), before starring in Dola (2021), a film which notably only starred two actors.

He co-starred Vikram Prabhu in Raid (2023), a remake of the Kannada film Tagaru in which he reprised Dhananjaya's role as Daali. Regarding his performance, national film critic Malini Mannath wrote that "Rishi Rithvik reveals a new dimension to his performance and infuses life in the character". His forthcoming film is Thirumbi Paar, where he features alongside Vidya Pradeep.
