One of the biggest wishes for every Kannada movie buff is to see the two stars of the industry – Shiva Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar – sharing the screen space. Despite being in the film industry for a long time and being siblings from the first family of Sandalwood, they did not get an opportunity to work together.
In past, a production house was set on casting the three sons of Dr Rajkumar – Shiva Rajkumar, Puneeth Rajkumar and Raghavendhra Rajkumar – in a film but it did not materialize due to financial constraints. Further, ace stunt director Ravi Varma had plans to make a film with Shiva Rajkumar and Puneeth Rajkumar which did not take off.
Now, director Duniya Soori is intending to make a film with the two brothers. During the 100th day function of Tagaru, the director said that the wish of every Kannadiga will come true soon. Duniya Soori, who is close to both the brothers, is planning to make a sequel to Tagaru and the film will have Puneeth playing a role in it along with Shiva Rajkumar.
Will Duniya Soori be able to pull it off? Well, for that we need to wait for an official confirmation. Shiva Rajumar’s first film release this year was Tagaru, which was released on February 23. The film, directed by Duniya Soori, was made on a budget of Rs 18 crores and collected Rs 90 crores at the box office.
Shiva Rajkumar played the lead role in Tagaru with Devaraj, Dhananjay, Vasishta N Simha, Manvitha and Bhavana in supporting roles. Music composer Charan Raj is the music director of this film with Mahendra Simha being the DOP and Deepu S Kumar doing the editing.
