‘666 Operation Dream Theatre': Shivarajkumar embraces the retro style in Hemanth M Rao's film
In his first look from the movie, Shivarajkumar was in an intense mode. With a sharp moustache and slicked-back hair, the Kannada superstar appeared in a dark suit. The second look portrays Shivarajkumar in a white retro suit, pointing a pistol.
'The Maze is his playground. The Theatre King. Wishing our legend, our beloved @NimmaShivanna a very happy birthday. What a feeling to direct you, sir,' Hemanth wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The posters of Shivarajkumar seem like a nod to his father, Dr Rajkumar's classic CID 999 spy thrillers. Last month, the makers had released the first look of Dhananjaya.
The movie is likely to be a blend of crime, action and science-fiction, though details of the plot are yet to be announced. 'The film promises to be a gripping cinematic experience blending intensity with layered narratives, set in a 70s-inspired style, and carrying the signature of Hemanth's craft,' the makers had said in a release.
