These days, movie teams are doing all sorts of crazy things to grab attention. But for Akkineni Nagarjuna’s classic film Shiva, the makers did something simple yet powerful. They dropped a creative poster that instantly got people talking. It shows the villain Bhavani, played by the late Raghuvaran, holding a phone and a newspaper with the line, “Shiva is coming back in 4K Atmos – 10 days to go. It’s clever, emotional, and pure nostalgia rolled into one. The movie is all set to hit theatres again on November 14, 2025, and fans are already counting down.




Back when Shiva was released in 1989, directed by Ram Gopal Varma, it completely changed how people looked at Telugu cinema. It had raw energy, college fights, and that unforgettable background score that made the film legendary. Now, it’s coming back in 4K Dolby Atmos, sharper and louder than ever. For fans who grew up watching it, this re-release feels like a trip back in time, and for new ones, it’s a chance to see where it all began.

The poster alone has done half the promotion. People can’t stop sharing it. Seeing Raghuvaran, who passed away in 2008, back on screen, even in a poster, hit differently. He was one of those actors who made you love the villain more than the hero. The way the team brought him back into the spotlight feels like a small, quiet tribute that touched everyone.

Social media’s already flooded with comments like, Mass cinema started here and “Bhai Bhavani back! It’s funny how a 35-year-old film can still create this kind of buzz. This move feels straight from the heart not just marketing. When Shiva hits theatres again this November, it won’t just be a re-release. It’ll be that familiar heartbeat of 90s cinema coming alive all over again.
