The news of Shiva Rajkumar, who is also known as Shivanna by his fans joining the film is quite the pleasant sur♈prise to fans who are eagerly awaiting the cinematic ode to the Tamil saint 'Bhakta Kannappa,' a devout follower of Lord Shiva.

Speculations about Shiva Rajkumar's involvement in the project had been circulating for quite a while as it had created strong bu﷽zz among movie enthusiasts.

He wrote oꦑn X, formerly called Twitter: "Har Har Mahadev." Alongside the news of Shiva Rajkumar joining the cast. 

Shiva Rajkumar is the eldest son of the Kannada film industry legend, Dr Rajkumar. Now a superstar himself in the industry, the actor has a three-decade-long career where 🦹he has worked in over 125 films in Kannada.

For his contributions to cinema, Shiva Rajkumar has received several awards, including four Karna💙taka State Film Awards, four Filmfare Awards South, and six South Indian International ♚Movie Awards.

As ꦗfor Vishnu Manchu, 'Kannappa' is not merely a film but rather a passio🎃n project, as the actor has been instrumental in shaping the narrative over the past seven years.

Now with three superstars from the South Indian film industry ♎on board, 🌺the film is set to become an even grander cinematic spectacle.
