The South star mentioned that he will soon resume work and expressed his gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support. He shared, “Doctors have asked me to take it easy in the first month. After that, I will be back to my usual self. You will see the same Shivanna with twice the energy. Until then, I thank you all for the support.”
