The veteran stunt director Shivaiah was remembered by Shivarajakumar at 'Shiva' action shoot at Rockline Studio. Shivarajakumar complimenting the veteran stunt director for his involvement and expertise narrated two incidents in the past that made the media burst out of laughter. Shivaiah handled Dr Rajakumar and other super star of Kannada cinema as stunt director.

The involvement of Shivaiah was such that one day he handed over the cigarette he was smoking to the person standing next to him to correct the action portion. When he took the cigarette from that person he was shocked because in a hurry he had given it to Dr Rajakumar. Shivaiah immediately apologized for this but the icon Dr Rajakumar was humble enough. In another case Shivaiah kept the lit cigarette in his shirt pocket and when he realized he did a wrong thing his shirt was burnt.

When Shivarajakumar explained this the media was curiously observing it. Shivarajakumar has done a small stunt composition in this film 'Shiva' - another area of interest in Shivarajakumar was discovered.
