Ramya, Radhika in race for Shivaraj's Shiva

Century hero Shivaraj Kumar is fast wrapping up the works of his 101st film Lakshmi and is expected to start the shooting of his next movie Shiva, which is produced by Kanakpur Srinivas and KP Srikanth. The movie bosses are now on a hunt for the female lead and the names of Golden girl Ramya and actress Radhika Pandit are being considered for the role.

Kannada actress Ramya has started her acting career in 2003 and so far she has acted in nearly 50 movies. She has starred with all hit Kannada actors like Sudeep, Upendra and Darshan in nearly ten years' career of hers. She has even starred opposite Shivanna's brother Puneet in a couple of films. But she has not teamed up with Shivaraj Kumar and there is no clue about it.

Meanwhile, Radhika Pandit became a successful actress with her debut movie Moggina Manasu. Her performance in her later movies like Love Guru and Gaana Bajaana has got lots of accolades from film critics. She has acted with Puneet in Hudugru, which was released on May 05 and is doing very well at the Box Office. Recently, her name is linked with Shivanna'a new movie, which is being directed by Nagabharana's son Pannaga.

However, the movie Shiva will be the first film for both Ramya and Radhika to act alongside Shivaraj Kumar. Recently, Shivanna had expressed his disappointment over Ramya's insulting remarks against producer A Ganesh. Though the producers Srinivas and Srikanth are considering Ramya and Radhika, it's the Hat-trick hero who has to finalise the actress for Shiva. Now, it should be seen whom will he select as his lady love.
