"On the occasion of Shiva Anna's 60th birthday, I am glad to present the ‘KING OF ALL MASSES’ poster from his upcoming film 'Ghost'," wrote Kichcha Sudeepa, unveiling the first look poster of 'Ghost', starring Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar in the lead. The occasion is that it is the actor's birthday today.

A heist thriller to be made as a high-octane actioner, the film will go on the floors in the month of August. A pan-India flick to be released in all major languages, including Telugu and Hindi, the Sandalwood project is directed by Srini of 'Birbal' fame.

Produced by Sandesh Productions, the film has music by Arjun Janya and production design by Shivakumar of 'KGF' fame. Mahendra Simha is cranking the camera. The dialogue writers of the film have been quite sought-after in the Kannada film industry.

The first poster is phenomenal and intriguing at once. We see that the hero is out to play a solid action-driven role. And since Shivarajkumar is described as a 'King of the masses', expect the unexpected.

It's learned that the actor loved the climax segment a lot and immediately took a decision to do 'Ghost'.

In other news, Akkineni Nagarjuna unveiled a poster of another of Shivarajkumar's upcoming movies, '45'. "Dear Shivanna welcome to the super 60s. May you be blessed with health & happiness always. Delighted to launch the title poster of your film," Nag wrote.
