The Bigg Boss Kannada Season 12 trophy race is at the end of the road and the buzz is at a crescendo after the big player in general endorsed them like no other: Karunada Chakravarthy Dr. Shiva Rajkumar. With the big finale looming this Sunday, fans are in a mad frenzy as a viral video of “Shivanna” guessing winner has given a huge shoutout to popular contestant Gilli Nataraj.
The “Shivanna” Seal of Approval
A video of it has gone viral on social media in a recent public engagement, and Century Star Shivarajkumar can be seen talking confidently and calmly about the season of Bigg Boss in general right now. When one questioned about the favourite to win, the actor didn't hesitate. Eagerly rocking the table, Shivanna said, “Gilli’s the winner!” He had promised to wish comedian "All the best" for the grand finale. This endorsement is even more important because it is from a legendary figure who speaks volumes through the power of his words all over Karnataka. For supporters of Gilli Nataraj, this is the final “victory signal” before the official announcement.
The Special Bond: From Dance Floor to Huge Screen
Shivarajkumar’s feelings for Gilli Nataraj go back to the reality show “Dance Karnataka Dance” in Zee Kannada. Gilli became a contestant on the show, and Shivanna, when he was a guest and mentor, was instantly impressed by Gilli's peculiar fashion and comic timing. At that time, Shivanna had made a famous comparison between Gilli and the iconic Tamil comedian Chandrababu, extolling his talent for natural entertainment. The superstar even said he wants to work with him: "I know, I must film with Gilli. Whenever I see him, I am reminded of the great actor Chandrababu. Soon enough, I will definitely put him in a film.”
Gilli Has Sandalwood Stars Cast
Gilli is not the only high-profile filmmaker interested in Shivarajkumar. On one of his recent visits to the Bigg Boss house, blockbuster director Jogi Prem exuded tremendous love for the comedian. Prem said to Gilli on leaving the house, "Meet me once you come out," sparking rumors that Gilli might already have secured a major role in a future lucrative Sandalwood project.
The Final Countdown
Gilli Nataraj is in heats with five formidable finalists: Ashwini Gowda, Rakshitha Shetty, Kavya Shaiwa, Raghu and Dhanush. Although all have a massive following, given the popularity that has now developed and the backing (or support) of Indian superstar Shivarajkumar, Gilli will come to the top. As the contest deadline draws near on Sunday at 10:00 am, our "Gilli Wave" seems to be at an all-time high and the biggest stars in the industry have been getting down to business.
