Shiva Nirvana is enjoying the biggest success of his career with Irumudi, the Ravi Teja-starrer that emerged as a major box-office hit. The film marked a significant turnaround for the director, who had previously helmed films such as Ninnu Kori, Majili and Kushi. With Irumudi showcasing his ability to blend mass elements with family emotions, Shiva Nirvana has reportedly been receiving several offers. The film’s success has also opened up opportunities to work with senior Telugu stars.
The latest buzz in Tollywood suggests that Shiva Nirvana is keen to collaborate with a senior hero and has already shared a story idea with a prominent star. The director reportedly travelled to Mysuru and met the actor on the sets of his ongoing film. The initial idea is said to have impressed the star, who asked Shiva Nirvana to prepare the complete script. However, the full narration is yet to take place, and the proposed collaboration remains at an early stage. The senior hero Shiva Nirvana is keen to work with is Nandamuri Balakrishna.
Balakrishna is currently busy shooting for Dadaa, directed by Gopichand Malineni. The actor is also preparing to move on to his next project with director Koratala Siva, which is expected to begin soon. Meanwhile, Shiva Nirvana is reportedly working on the full draft before narrating it to Balakrishna. If the actor approves the script, the combination could mark an interesting new chapter for both. However, no official announcement has been made, and the project is yet to be finalised.
