here is RGV's take on it...

So what went wrong, say, with Shiva?

Everything. (Laughs) See, I still think the decision was not wrong. Any film is an idea. I decided to take Shiva forward, set it in a police setup, etc. I think I was wrong as I got confused about adapting it into the new setup. Also, I think at that time I had surrounded myself with people who kept telling me whatever I did was right. I'm not blaming them, obviously.

I wanted to make a film to correct the mistakes of James. I ended up making a film worse than James.

I think I just had a really bad year.
