Actor Sudeep was there to wish his best friend Shivaraj Kumar on his completion of 25 years in the industry. He came a little late to the function, but was able to make it. While the function was in the process of ending, many journalists had left the place. But since Sudeep had already mentioned in his face book page that he was busy in the work relating to the prints of Kempe Gowda, he may not be able to attend Shivanna's function, it was felt that he may not be able to make up to the function.

Sudeep tweets =Flew bk n Managed to visit shivanna's function last nite..sure it ws a feast to all to wtch th entire industry cm together..happens rarely.

Earlier Sudeep had written two notes in the face book about the funciton. The first was Wshn u smiles n happiness n many more grtr years shivanna..n of course all credits to Geetakka who's been crafting these years..Luv ,kiccha notings.
