Shivarajkumar's next film Muthuraj, which was expected to start shooting on April 24, has been stalled by the sudden demise of Shivanna's mother-in-law. Director Harsha has made it official that the shooting has been postponed as Shivanna need some personal space.

There are reports that the film will start shooting in June. Meanwhile, Harsha will finalise the rest of the cast and crew of the film. Interestingly, it was Shivrajkumar who suggested Muthuraj as the film's title. Apart from this project, Shivanna is busy with two other films - Belli and Aryan.
