When you look at the industries of the south cinema, it is known that the Sandalwood circuit is yet to attain that branding and recognition like the rest. However, the situation has changed in the recent times and even they are catching up fast in terms of quality and quantity.
And then there are those stars in the Kannada circuit who have a powerful following. One such person is Century Star Shivaraj Kumar. He is the son of Kannada Kantheerava Rajkumar and it the top league star. Now, Shivaraj Kumar is expected to be seen in a Telugu movie.
We are talking about the historical opus Gautamiputra Satakarni featuring Nandamuri Natasimham Balakrishna. There is a valid reason by roping in Shivaraj Kumar. The state of Karnataka also celebrates Ugadi as Telugu states so the concept of Satakarni applies. If Shivanna (as he is fondly called by his fans) is given a role the Kannada folks would watch it in the Hindi version. This should be interesting.
