Real
Star
Upendra's
new
movie
Shivam
is
gearing
up
for
a
release
soon.
The
theatrical
trailer
of
the
movie
was
released
on
YouTube
by
the
film
makers.
Upendra's
previous
movies
Brahma
and
Super
Ranga
have
failed
in
the
box
office.
The
stakes
are
high
for
the
star
to
deliver
a
hit
movie
now.
Shivam
was
previously
titled
as
Basavanna.
But
the
title
courted
controversy
with
the
Lingayat
Community,
which
protested
against
the
usage
of
their
spiritual
leader's
name
for
a
movie.
Subsequently,
the
director
removed
the
titled
and
declared
that
the
symbol
will
be
used
as
the
title.
With
the
KFCC
not
allowing
the
director
with
his
strange
move,
the
movie
was
titled
as
Shivam.
Upendra's
character
will
be
Basavanna
in
the
movie
and
no
change
has
been
made
regarding
that.
Upendra
plays
dual
role
in
the
movie.
While
one
of
the
character
is
that
of
a
high
profile
killer,
the
other
one
is
a
temple
priest
who
picks
up
the
weapon
to
deliver
justice.
The
movie
also
has
Ragini
Dwivedi
playing
a
very
glamorous
role
along
with
Upendra.
A
promo
of
the
song
Dham
Dham
Dhamaruga
from
the
movie
has
also
been
released
along
with
the
trailer.
Srinivas
Raju
is
the
director
of
the
movie
and
the
music
has
been
composed
by
Manisharma.
The
supporting
cast
includes
Ravishankar,
Avinash,
Bullet
Prakash,
Dodanna,
Srinivas
Murthy
and
others.
