“Shiva” Re-Release: Tanikella Bharani Recalls Scripting Drama, RGV’s Quirks
Hyderabad: The Telugu film “Shiva,” a cult classic directed by Ram Gopal Varma (RGV) starring Nagarjuna, is set to re-release in theaters with upgraded 4K visuals on November 14th. Ahead of the re-release, veteran writer and actor Tanikella Bharani has shared an interesting story about his involvement in the film’s creation.
Bharani, who wrote the screenplay and played a key role in the film, revealed that he was initially left out of the movie’s announcement. He was assigned to write a script with college humour, but later the script was changed according to RGV’s vision. The writer then entrusted the screenplay to a friend, who had delivered it to Annapurna Studios.
“Shiva,” which redefined action and storytelling in Telugu cinema, will be screened with updated visuals.
