The humility that everyone speaks about is what makes Shivanna special. Even after 30+ years in the industry, he's still so down to earth. Hemanth Rao's note about 'watching your magic' is so true. Can't wait for 666: Operation Dream Theatre! 💫
True KFCL icon! But sometimes I feel we over hype these birthday posts from colleagues. Let's appreciate Shivanna's actual filmography - Om, Janumada Jodi, Simhada Mari - these films defined a generation. The rest is just PR work. 🤷
I remember watching 'Nammoora Mandara Hoove' in the theatre with my family. Shivanna had that charm that even today's stars can't match. Jani Master's words about humility are spot on - met him once at an event and he was so approachable. Happy birthday, Anna! 🎂
Nice to see the industry coming together for him. But honestly, I'm more excited about his upcoming film with Hemanth Rao. The combination of Shivanna's acting chops and Hemanth's direction in '666' could be something special. Fingers crossed! 🤞
His cameo in Jailer 2 was too short! Wish Nelson had given him more screen time. But anyway, happy birthday to the original mass hero of Sandalwood. 🎉
