Although Shivarajkumar has traveled to the US for his treatment, his commitment to cinema remains strong. While his next film 45 is lined up for release and a handful of other projects are at different stages of development, Shivanna has given the green light to yet another new project. Titled MB, the film will be backed by Mumbai-based ADD-ONE Films and directed by N Maharajan. Known for his hit film Vallarasu, starring Vijayakanth, Maharajan has also directed a couple of Tamil films, and a Hindi film starring Sunny Deol. This project with Shivarajkumar will mark his directorial debut in Kannada cinema.
