'Shubham' - new film of Shivadwaj directed by Ravi Garani

Film world is nothing less than gambling to certain extent for many. People often call it 'luck'! For some, success comes their way without much of an effort but for some, its always the next time! 'Hope' is what motivates the later and encourages them to work harder every time with enthusiasm and innovativeness. The next-door boy Shivadwaj is one such example. He is now back with lots of ideas and confidence. Teamed with Shivadwaj is the well-known small screen director Ravi Garani and N.R. Shetty as another producer. And their project is titles as 'Shubham'.

"We are trying something different" is what most of the filmmakers say in general. So says the Shubham team! But they mean it. They are triggering a new trend in Kannada film industry by making two versions of the same movie - one for the class and the second for the mass audience! While Shubham (Classic) is for 'class audience' with less violence and more music, fully loaded Shubham (Massive) is for the 'mass audience' with more action, item number with fewer songs. The core portion of the movie remains unchanged for both the versions! Shubham team thinks, its difficult to cater to both segments and hence this plan of giving the audience a chance to chose from. Apparently, noted director Ram Gopal Varma tried this tactic but due to some problem at censor board, that film was never released.

Shivadwaj who is one of the producers of this movie is also playing the lead role. It was pretty unfortunate for this talented youngman to see only flops in Kannada and that made him try his hands in Tamil and Malayalam. His comeback for Shubham is very crucial from his film career perspective. Acted in sober roles so far, Shivadwaj has changed his appearance in Shubham to emerge as an action hero. Mumbai girl Sanjitha who appeared for a short while in Amitab starrer Baghban is pairing Shivadwaj. Shubham is her debut as heroine. Targeting at South Indian cinemas, this bubbly girl has also signed for one Tamil movie. "I'm playing the role of a hyperactive, naughty girl, who turns serious and matured due to circumstances," says Sanjitha who liked her role a lot! .
