Analysis
Director P Vasu, who has grabbed the attention of the Kannada audience through his outstanding venture like Apthamitra, Aptharakshaka, has directed Shivalinga. This is the director’s first film with Shiva Rajkumar.
P Vasu has yet again touched his favorite subject horror, and one tends to notice some similarities to Aptamitra. The movie has drawn inspiration from the Bond series too. However, the director has interspersed all the elements that are required to satisfy the local audience.
Owing to the popularity of Killing of Veerappan in Sandalwood and Kollywood, the other industries also got attracted by Shivanna’s films and hence Shivalinga will be dubbed in Telugu too.
