Kannada star Shiva Rajkumar to make his Bollywood debut with Sudipto Sen's next?

Filmmaker Sudipto Sen's 'The Kerala Story' broke several box office records in 2023. The film was also under the scanner for its sensitive take on religious conversions, ISIS and love jihad.
Now, as per the latest report, Sudipto Sen who is gearing up for his second ambitious project 'Bastar', has roped in Kannada actor Shiva Rajkumar. Recently, a picture of Shiva Rajkumar with filmmaker Sudipto Sen is making rounds on social media.
The report further stated that it is still unclear if the reported offer made by Sudipto to Shiva Rajkumar is for the already announced Bastar or for an entirely different project.
Talking about 'Bastar', based on a "true incident", will hit the screens on April 5, 2024. The films poster shows a jungle in the background, and the title of the film is seen painted with the color of blood red.
