Shivarajkumar’s debut in Kollywood seems to be taking a bit longer. The Century star has decided not to be part of the Tamil film directed by Karthik Subbaraj and starring Chiyaan Vikram. The actor confirmed this news to Cinema Express and said that he is unable to consider the project owing to date clashes with his other films.

Shivanna, who has back-to-back projects lined up, is currently shooting for Vijay Milton’s Shivappa. It was reported recently that Karthik Subbaraj was keen on roping in Shivanna to play an important role and he even gave a script narration to the actor at his residence. The actor, who took a couple of days to consider the offer, has chosen to decline it owing to a lack of dates.  “I am already committed to other projects and I wouldn’t have been able to allocate a large number of days in a single stretch for Karthik’s film. So, I had to turn down the offer,” says Shivarajkumar.

Meanwhile, he is looking forward to the release of Bhajarangi 2, directed by A Harsha for Jayanna Films. The film is scheduled to hit the screens on May 14.
