Shivam cut short by 20 minutes

Ram starrer Shivam has been trimmed by 20 minutes. Directed by newcomer Srinivas Reddy, Shivam received severe criticism for its excessive length as the runtime is close to three hours. Second half drags on with unnecessary scenes. So the makers have reedited the film and trimmed the length by 20 minutes.

On the other hand, the movie has received great openings on the first day. In both the Telugu states, the movie has recorded superb figures.

Shivam stars Rashi Khanna as heroine. Brahmanandam, Vineeth Kumar, Srinivas Reddy and Fish Venkat are seen in important roles.
