Do you know how popular Shivanna is in Chennai? If you watch the video, you will understand!

The Kannada hat-trick hero has an army of fans not only in Karnataka but also in many states of India. Especially in South India, the craze for Shivanna is beyond description. The recent incident is yet another proof of this.

Shivarajkumar was in Chennai for the shooting of his upcoming film 'Jailer 2'. Thousands of fans flocked to the shooting set and queued up to see Shivanna. It is noteworthy that the fans not only watched but also stood in a disciplined queue to take a selfie with Shivanna.

Released in 2023, Rajinikanth starrer 'Jailer' was a blockbuster hit at the box office, grossing over Rs 600 crore. The film also stars Mohanlal, Jackie Shroff, Sunil, Tamannaah Bhatia and Shivarajkumar in cameo roles. Shivanna's portrayal of Mandya Narasimha, especially his entry and the tissue paper scene in the climax, won the hearts of the Tamil Nadu audience. Those two scenes have created a new fan base for Shivanna in Tamil Nadu.

The shooting of 'Jailer 2' is going on in full swing and Shivanna has once again joined the team. The huge crowd of fans during the shooting of Chennai has once again shown how high Shivanna's popularity is.

On the sets of the shoot, Shivanna not only waved to his fans but also won his heart by talking to each and every fan, shaking hands and clicking pictures. From technicians to ordinary fans, everyone was happy to meet Shivanna.

• "No matter how big a star Shivanna is, his gentle nature keeps us hooked"
• "We became fans of Shivanna after seeing the character of Mandya Narasimha," he said.

This video from Chennai has proved that Shivarajkumar is the star of the hearts of not only Kannadigas but also South Indians. There is no doubt that by the time 'Jailer 2' is released, Shivanna's craze will rise to an even bigger level.
