Shiva Rajkumar, Kannada cinema's elder superstar, has been venturing into new territory as an actor for quite some time.

Shiva Rajkumar, on the other hand, has been receiving lucrative offers from the Tamil cinema business for quite some time. In a recent interview with the Galatta Plus YouTube channel, Kannada film industry favourite Shivanna claimed that he was approached about collaborating on a project with famed Tamil star Ajith Kumar long before he made his Kollywood debut with Jailer.

According to Shiva Rajkumar, he was once promised a crucial part in an Ajith Kumar film. In an interview with the Galatta Plus YouTube channel, the Mufti actor confessed that he had to decline the offer since he was too busy with Kannada projects at the time and didn't want to embarrass his producers.

"Actually, I was approached for Tamil movies, in between. I had received an offer, I think it was with Ajith sir. This happened 7-8 years back. However, I still don't know which movie it was. They just approached. But I was very busy," revealed Shiva Rajkumar. "Also, if I give dates to another language movie at that point, my Kannada colleagues might think I don't have any ethics. But personally, I like Tamil because I was born there," he further added.
