New Delhi: Renowned south actor Nagarjuna on Saturday said his 1989 film "Shiva" is set to re-release in theatres on November 14.
The 66-year-old actor shared the announcement on his X handle on the occasion of his late father and popular filmmaker Akkineni Nageswara Rao's birthday.
The film was directed by Ram Gopal Varma and served as a breakthrough for Nagarjuna.
It revolved around his character Shiva, a fresher at VAC College, who is forced to stand up against the students' union president and a group of gangsters, responsible for creating an increasingly violent environment at the institution.
