Over
100
crew
members
of
the
upcoming
film
Nagarahaavu,
took
part
in
the
recently
concluded
marathon,
which
was
held
in
the
city.
The
participation
was
a
gesture
to
honour
the
late
actor
Vishnuvardhan.
In
fact,
their
upcoming
film
Nagarahaavu
is
intended
to
pay
tribute
to
the
actor.
"We
are
really
happy
to
be
a
part
of
the
marathon.
It
is
a
tribute
to
the
great
Kannada
superstar
Vishnu
sir.
We
did
not
get
a
chance
to
work
with
him.
We
only
have
his
lessons
and
his
footprints
to
follow," Yogesh,
the
co-director
of
the
film
has
told
Times
of
India.
Vishnuvardhan
was
a
sport
enthusiast
himself.
"Everyone
knows
Vishnu
sir's
fondness
for
sports.
He
created
Snehaloka
to
promote
cricket.
Now
it
is
one
of
the
most
important
sports
and
cultural
team
in
the
city
that
conducts
cricket
tournament
and
other
cultural
programmes
.
This
is
the
reason
we
wanted
to
pay
tribute
through
the
marathon," he
has
said.
The
makers
of
Nagarahaavu
have
recreated
the
Simhadriya
Simha
star
digitally
in
the
upcoming
movie.
"It
will
be
like
the
superstar
performing
on
screen
for
15
minutes
in
the
40
minutes
climax
filled
with
graphics
of
Nagarahaavu," a
source
has
revealed.
