It happened once at the brisk action composition. Action director Shivaiah without knowing who is standing at one place just handed over the cigarette he was smoking to give action instructions. When the shot was set Shivaiah came and took the cigarette from none other than Dr Rajakumar. He did not know that he had given his lit cigarette to Annavru. He was about to fall to his feet for his mistake. Annavru was holding the cigarette for a few seconds and he understood the work involvement of Shivaiah.

Shivaiah doing this was explained Shivarajakumar and media stunned with it on Saturday afternoon at the ‘Shiva’ shooting.

Shivarajakumar explained another incident where Shivaiah put the lit cigarette in his shirt pocket and worked obviously only smell started coming of his burning pocket he realized.
