Fans braved the rains to wish Shivakumar on his birthday. He stepped out for just five minutes.

He preferred to stay indoors and had a quiet celebration with some of his close relatives.

It was only after his manager convinced him that Shivakumar came out with full security. He talked to fans for five minutes, and then went back inside.

He told MiD DAY, "I have decided to make different kind of films and from now on, you'll see a different Shivarajkumar. I will do only people-oriented films."
