In his interview, Shiva Rajkumar claimed that when he made his debut as a kid actor, he was never interested in performing. According to the celebrity, he became so irritated while filming on his debut film that he tossed away his wig and walked out. Shiva Rajkumar, on the other hand, was given a feature when a filmmaker noticed him in a cinema theatre.

When the director learned that he was Dr. Rajkumar's son, he addressed the legend, who instead urged his son to finish his education if he wanted to become an actor. According to Shivanna, due to idols Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan, he gradually acquired an interest in acting from then on. "I adore Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan Ji. They are both my favourites. They are identical to my two eyes. And my father is my heart," Shiva Rajkumar explained.

"I admire Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan. Kamal sir's eyes are appealing, as are Amitabh sir's voice and screen presence. Whenever he appears on screen, it's huge," the Kannada superstar continued. Shiva Rajkumar also stated that he was inspired by Sr. Bachchan's ‘Agneepath’ role for his ‘Ghost’ avatar, particularly in terms of body language.
