Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar is almost done with his next film. Titled Ayushman Bhava, this film is being directed by P Vasu. The shooting has been wrapped up and it is currently in the post-production mode. According to the latest reports, Ayushman Bhava will hit the silver screens on November 1 this year to coincide with Kannada Rajyotsava Day. We also hear that the audio launch will happen during Dussehra as also the trailer release.

Director P Vasu and Shiva Rajkumar are collaborating for the second time creating a lot of expectations among their fans. While their first outing, Shivalinga, was a big hit, this time they are associating for Ayushman Bhava.

According to reports doing the rounds, veteran actors Prabhu and Suhasini Maniratnam have been roped in to play important roles in this flick. However, their roles are being kept a secret for now. Rachita Ram is playing Shiva Rajkumar’s heroine in this film and Nidhi Subbaiah will be seen in an important role. The technical crew of Ayushman Bhava includes Guru Kiran for music and PKH Doss for cinematography.

Shiva Rajkumar currently has a slew of films such as SRK, Bhajarangi 2 and Drona in different stages of production.

It may be noted here that Shiva Rajkumar and director A Harsha are teaming up for the third time for Bhajarangi 2. On choosing the title, the director had reportedly said that it will have no connection to the blockbuster hit Bhajarangi, which they had collaborated on in 2013, but he chose the name because his team liked it. So, from what we gather, Bhajarangi 2 will be a completely different story. The film will have Bhavana sharing screen space with Shiva Rajkumar. Harsha and Shiva Rajkumar also worked together in Vajrakaya which released in 2015.
