Shivanagu made his debut as a director with the movie ‘Eitaram Nehru’ in the combination of superstar Krishna and Suman. So far he has directed 14 films. He is the director of the movie ‘Devineni’ in 2021 with Nandamuri Tarakaratna as the hero. ‘Nataratnalu’ is the latest film directed by Shivanagu. Bigg Boss beauty Inaya Sultana played the heroine in this movie. ‘Rangasthalam’ stars Mahesh, Sudarshan and Arjun Tej in lead roles. The shooting of this film has already been completed and it is getting ready for release. However, as part of the film’s promotion, an audio release ceremony was held at Prasad Lab in Hyderabad on Wednesday. Actress Divyavani, Dr. Padma, Chikoti Praveen and Erapataneni Srinivas attended the ceremony as guests.
As part of the program, director Shivanagu said, ‘I have written my life as a story and made the movie Nataratnalu. I know the difficulties and pains faced by filmmakers. I felt it, I saw it. Actually I don’t need to feel that much. But, I went in believing in the film and faced a lot of difficulties. I am moving forward thinking that I like the difficulty as well.’

In this sequence Shivanagu fired on the hero Suman. ‘All these people who are in big and big levels came with admiration when I called them. I came into the industry at a young age. I trained at Madhu Film Institute. Puri Jagannath, Srikanth, Bandla Ganesh were my classmates. After we all study together and come out, we are going in someone’s path. I have seen many heroes and heroines in my career. I have done good films with many people. However, I am still fighting for success. To be in the film industry you need success. Grove of Success.
I have done three films with one hero. There is a very good connection. My boy also acted as the hero’s son in two films. One of my friends said, can that hero be called for this movie function? I called that hero. He picked up the makeup man’s phone. He told you to get in touch. They stretched it out for about ten days. In the end.. he said that he will come if I give him Rs. 2 lakhs. That is, should I honor him by giving him Rs.2 lakhs? I have to pay and get my audio released. I gave money.. I have to say that my hero is a good man and we have such a good relationship. He should take money from me and say that we are good friends. He is not the hero, Suman’ said Shivanagu.
Shivanagu expressed his grief that he has done three films with hero Suman. ‘Sir.. Suman, every director makes a hero in movies. We can do it with freshers.. We can do it with seniors like you. We can bring anyone and make him a hero. You cannot make directors sir. We can make ourselves heroes. You remember that. Never again practice such practices in the industry. Think if you stand up for a small film, the director will get a hit and the producer will get four bucks. Don’t be commercial. Very wrong Suman. I am very hurt. I also told that to your make-up man Venkatarao. He said why are you feeling. “Why don’t we feel it? We feel it 100 percent,” Shivanagu said angrily.
