Shivarajkumar continues his steady run in cinema even after a career spanning over a hundred films. His upcoming films are spread across industries, including Peddi with Ram Charan, Jailer 2 with Rajinikanth, and Gummadi Narsaiah, adding to his strong pan-India presence. In Kannada, Bail, directed by Pavan Wadeyar, is getting ready for release. He also has DAD and a key role in 666 Operation Dream Theatre, directed by Hemanth M Rao, among others. Adding to this list, Shivarajkumar will next work with R Chandru, known for Kabzaa, on a new big project that is now in preparation and will be announced with a title soon.
Sources say Chandru, post-Kabzaa (2023), has not taken up directorial responsibilities and has been working on a couple of subjects for the past couple of years. He is developing a few ideas, and this film with Shivarajkumar is planned as a big-canvas project with a multi-language release, aiming for a global reach. The director is also planning to bring in a diverse cast. With Shivanna in the lead, the project will feature actors from different industries, with more details expected later. Meanwhile, Shivarajkumar, who is juggling multiple projects, is also preparing to start shooting for A for Anand with Srini soon.
