Kannada
actor
Shivaraj
Kumar
started
his
career
as
a
romantic
hero
with
the
movie
Anand,
which
became
super-hit
film
at
the
Box
Office.
His
later
hit
movies
like
Rathasapthami
and
Mana
Mechchida
Hudugi
depicted
him
as
same
old
lover
boy.
But
Upendra-directed
movie
Om
gave
him
a
new
look.
The
film
Om
is
a
gangster
movie
and
is
one
of
the
biggest
hits
and
most
popular
movies
in
the
industry.
The
movie
set
a
new
trend
in
Kannada
film
industry.
In
fact,
this
movie
started
the
trend
of
films
about
real
rowdyism.
The
image
of
Shivaraj
Kumar
holding
a
sword
impressed
many
movie
buffs
and
made
them
his
fans.
Sandalwood
star
Shivaraj
Kumar
was
also
passionated
by
the
genre
and
tried
out
more
movies
in
the
same
genre.
Initially,
his
movies
like
Jogi,
Sathya
In
Love
and
few
other
films
become
successful,
but
his
recent
movies
like
Santha,
Hattrick
Hodi
Maga
and
Thamassu
in
the
same
genre,
failed
at
the
Box
Office.
But
those
movies
did
not
hinder
Shivaraj
Kumar's
passion
to
do
such
movies.
He
tried
out
the
same
genre
in
Mylari,
which
became
super-hit
movie
of
the
year
2011.
The
King
of
Sandalwood
is
now
set
to
complete
100
films
with
the
movie
Jogayya,
which
is
slated
to
release
on
19th
August.
Although
his
Jogayya
is
also
made
in
same
genre,
Shivaraj
Kumar
has
changed
his
look
in
it
after
seeing
the
response
of
present
generation.
The
century
hero
is
appearing
in
a
brand
new
get
up.
He
has
ditched
his
image
of
angry
young
man
holding
a
sword.
Instead,
he
is
holding
a
thrishool
in
the
movie
Jogayya.
The
movie
Jogayya
features
him
in
the
Rudra
avatar.
Director
Prem
and
producer
Rakshita
have
planned
to
cash
in
his
new
avatar.
So
they
have
raised
the
cut-outs
of
Shivaraj
Kumar
in
Rudra
avatar
in
front
of
many
theatres
in
Bangalore
and
other
parts
of
Karnataka.
Now,
it
should
be
seen
whether
Shivanna's
new
image
will
impress
the
audience
or
not.
