As reiterated many times in past, horror thriller is highly a successful genre ruling the roost in present South Indian cinema industry. Among the heroes and among the directors, first names to be called as trendsetters in this genre are hero Raghava Lawrence and director P Vasu.
The monumental success of ‘Chandramukhi’ should be credited equally to P Vasu along with Super Star Rajinikanth. Later on P Vasu continued his winning streak in Kannada films with similar horror-thrillers and ‘Shiva Linga’ is the latest addition. In parallel, Lawrence took Tamil and Telugu states by a storm with ‘Muni’ series both as a director and hero. Three out of three in ‘Muni’ series are considered as rock solid commercial hits.
When such two big names of P Vasu and Lawrence joined hands on a proven Kannada subject, obviously ‘Shiva Linga’ is rated as a crazy project hitting the screens in next two days. Interestingly, Ritika Singh of ‘Guru’ fame is playing an important lead character. SS Thaman's music and Sarvesh Murari cinematography are the additional top names in technicians list.
