The television spat between two topline producer Munirathna and K.Manju which has been getting focus in many of the programmes in the local news channels is looking like a big joke for Kannada film industry's century star Shivaraj Kumar.  "I am not feeling that I am watching a serious discussion on the contentious matter, but some sort of a big joke played in front of the viewers.   This is nothing but a big joke' said Shivanna during a press meet of  his film Andar Bahar directed by Phaneesh and produced by six ardent fans of Dr. Raj Kumar's big family.  

Shivaraj Kumar who was participating in action sequence of Andar Bahar addressed a press meet of the film to express his happiness about the way the film shoot is progressing.

About the controversy regarding the two films of Upendra which was being made as a bigger issue by the two respective producers, Shivanna just said that these issues should not be made public and every issue should be settled by harmonious discussions.
