Directed by Shankar and produced by AVM Productions, 'Sivaji', with South Indian Super Star Rajnikant and Shriya in the lead is slated for release across the world on June 15.

The film was screened exclusively for a few dignitaries at Prasad Labs of Hyderabad on June 14. Former chief minister and Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu, Rajanikanth, producer Bellamkonda Suresh and other dignitaries attended the preview.

Mr Naidu says, 'The film was made with a social cause. Director Shankar needs compliments for moulding the film in an extraordinary manner. There is good message, besides entertainment and good action scenes. There is no need for any special mention for Rajni because he is a super star and a synonym to 'style'.

Later Rajnikant says, 'Naidu is a one of my good friends. Telugu people always appreciate my films and I wish they would make this film also a big hit.'

When Indiaglitz asked Rajnikant what made the so crazy project, he says, 'It is all God's grace. This is all because of God's blessings. But I could attribute the credit for the success of the film to director Shankar. He is an extraordinary director.'
