There were reports that Chi Gurudutt will be directing Shivarajkumar in a film backed by Sandesh Productions. However, going by the latest development, Gurudutt has backed out of the project, and Srini of Topiwala-fame will helm the Hattrick hero.

Srini had a round of discussions with Shivanna, and the production house has finalised the project. It is suggested that this project will be a heist action thriller titled Ghost. The story has been locked, and in all likelihood, the shoot will begin in the next couple of months.

Currently, Shivanna is busy shooting for his 125th film, Vedha. The Century star is waiting for the release of Bairagee, which is slated for a May release.

One of the busiest actors in Sandalwood, Shivanna, also has Nee Siguvaregu and films with directors Rishab Shetty, Lohit H and Jai R in different stages of production.
