A documentary titled Exploring Shiva after 25 years is now available to watch on YouTube.

Made to mark 25 years of the cult film starring Nagarjuna, Amala and Raghuvaran, and directed by the then debutant Ram Gopal Varma, this documentary narrated by Sirasri has interviews of the cast and crew giving viewers insights into the making of Shiva .

The film that dealt with student politics in a mafia backdrop, was shot extensively in Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University, Hyderabad. The film had dialogues penned by Iqbal Durrani. Ram Gopal Varma later releases a prequel of the film in 2006.

The documentary takes a look at the locations in which Shiva was filmed, the goons who featured in the film and what they are up to today and the making of the music and sound of Shiva.

The documentary also has interviews with leading filmmakers and that of Ram Gopal Varma.

Meanwhile, the digitally restored and re-mastered Shiva is expected to release in cinema halls this November.
