Kannada Star Shiva Rajkumar Suggests Fan To Wish Happy Deepavali Instead Of Diwali

Kannada actor Shiva Rajkumar has responded to a fan’s Diwali greeting with a suggestion. A random fan wished him a Happy Diwali on social media and Shiva Rajkumar responded saying that while Diwali brings happiness, it also evokes sadness for him. So, he suggested that his fans wish, “Happy Deepavali”.

A fan wrote on Twitter “Happy Diwali Boss”. Shiva Rajkumar replied, “Deepavali aadre happy aagirathe! Diwali Thumba sad aagirathe. Deepavali anni ???? #HappyDeepavali”.

Meanwhile, Shiva Rajkumar attended the ongoing World Cup match against the Netherlands at Chinnaswamy Stadium, showing his support for Team India.

Upon entering the spectator gallery, Shivrajkumar received a warm welcome from fans who waved and cheered. In return, he acknowledged them with a wave. Additionally, Shiva Rajkumar spent some time providing observations of the match in the Kannada commentary studio. In the last round-robin game of the 2023 World Cup, Team India set a formidable target by scoring 410 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 50 overs, providing the Netherlands with the challenging task of chasing down 411 runs.

On the other hand, a viral picture featuring Shiva Rajkumar, Katrina Kaif, and Nagarjuna has sparked curiosity on social media. The image, showcasing the trio in traditional attire, has fueled speculation about a potential collaboration for an upcoming film, leaving fans intrigued by the prospect of a significant joint project.

Fans’ enthusiasm increased as it was disclosed that the picture was from a promotional campaign for a jewellery brand. It was officially shared on Nagarjuna’s Facebook page. Contrary to hopes for a new film, the collaboration was centred around this campaign. Despite this revelation, Shiva Rajkumar’s craze in the film industry is escalating, propelled by his impressive portrayal in Jailer. The actor, acclaimed for his role as Narasimha, is currently fielding numerous offers from various filmmakers.

Shiva Rajkumar’s recent release, Ghost, which hit theaters last month, proved to be another milestone in his career. Directed by MG Srinivas and produced by Sandesh Nagaraj under Sandesh Productions, the film boasts an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Jayaram, Prashant Narayanan, Archana Jois, MG Srinivas, and Satya Prakash. With music composed by Arjun Janya, the film has garnered acclaim. Despite a budget ranging from Rs 10 to Rs 15 crore, Ghost has reportedly grossed Rs 30 crore worldwide since its October 19 release, solidifying Shiva Rajkumar’s stature in the film industry.
