Actor Shivarajkumar is all set to share screen space with Sudeep in Kumbh Mela and has plans to act with top star and his brother Puneet Rajkumar. He will follow the footsteps of his father Dr. Rajkumar by sharing screen space with big stars.

On Monday, Karnataka Chalanachitra Academy organized Belli Hejje program at Ravindra Kalakshetra, during which Mr. Shivarajkumar said, “Appaji (father) had acted with all stars, including Shankar Nag, Anant Nag, Vishnuvardhan, Ambarish, besides Kalyan Kumar, Uday Kumar in the early days of his career. I am also keen to act with all the top heroes of Kannada cinema in the coming days.”

Recently crossing the 100-film mark, Shivarajkumar dedicated his success to his father Dr. Rajkumar. Recalling this child hood, Shivarajkumar said, “We grew up in an environment where neither caste nor class had any space. The bonding factor was human relation. I grew up like an ordinary boy, not as the son of a star. I used to go to college in a bus.”

The actor who was a cricketer during his college days said, “Had I continued, I would have played for India.” But, he was sent to an acting school as per the destiny.
Shivarajkumar accepted that he was a great fan of Kamal Hassan and said that he dint bath for four days after he got a hug from Kamal Hassan. He says with smile, “I didn’t want the warmth to be washed away.”
