The century star crown has come to Shivarajakumar in the year 2011 for his ‘Jogaiah’ release and his completion of 25 years of film career plus silver jubilee of wedding with Geetha was also an event to mark at the top of the year.

What the gentleman hero Shivarajakumar has to say? It is a mixed bag of good and bad. I struggled by traveling all over Karnataka to ‘Mylari’ film that ran for 100 days in this year.

I had given working after my return from Paris to ‘Jogaiah’ how we have to take the film to various places on the lines of ‘Mylari’. It had gone to the deaf ears of director Prem says Shivarajakumar in a dejected tone speaking to a few journalists at the Bengaluru Turf Club on Wednesday afternoon.

Producer has sold the film and comforted should not be the goal. Till the last week of release I was like ‘Hutch brand ad’ (meaning the pug). What else I can take on. There was clear cut understanding on how we should take the film to promote it.

I am unhappy only because of this ‘Jogaiah’ development. That is the reason why I said 2011 is bag of bad and good. Shivrajakumar continued on his speed after 100 films. There are half dozen films he says. Shivarajakumar is taking up Gurudut production and direction as his next after ‘Andhar Bahar’. He has to allot 15 days time for ‘Lakshmi’ balance of shooting. The film Lakshmi is going glorious with graphic technology.

The first one to hit in 2012 for Shivarajakumar is ‘Shiva’ and next is ‘Lakshmi’. He has given consent to Srini who made ‘Kail-awesome’ short film. The film is tentatively titled as ‘Chalukya’. Shivarajakumar showed some of the photo shot pictures on the lap top of Srinivas an RJ.

A number of youngsters are coming to Shivanna with progressive thoughts is the development materializing for him in 2012. Among a few ‘Andhar Bahar’ is a good subject from Phanish. Vijayaprakash of ‘Jai Ho…fame is the music director of the film mentioned Shivanna.
