In
a
surprising
development,
actor-turned
politician
Ambareesh
has
resigned
to
his
post
of
the
President
of
Kannada
Artistes
Association
today
(Friday,
December
18).
Ambi
has
stated
that
he
is
upset
with
the
non-cooperation
policy
of
leading
actors
and
that's
why
he
has
decided
to
step
down
from
president
ship.
Rebel
star
Ambi
has
sent
his
resignation
letter
to
the
KAA
along
with
a
copy
to
Kannada
film
Producers
Association
(KFPA)
and
Kannada
Film
Directors
Association
(KFDA)
each
on
Friday.
The
actor
said,
"Despite
sending
invitation,
nobody
is
attending
the
meetings
and
other
functions
of
KAA.
How
much
can
I
struggle
alone?
I've
also
grown
old
and
I
can't
handle
this
post.
To
organise
any
event,
only
me,
Doddanna
and
Rockline
Venkatesh
will
be
there
and
others
will
be
always
absent."
He
added,
"There
are
actors,
who
are
asking
how
long
Ambi
will
continue
in
President's
chair.
Now,
it
seems
my
service
is
not
necessary
to
the
industry.
So
that's
why
I
have
decided
to
resign
from
the
post.
While
resigning
for
the
post
of
MP,
I
didn't
think
twice.
This
post
can't
be
a
big
deal
for
me."
Earlier,
Ambareesh
was
very
upset
on
December
13
when
a
host
of
actors
like
Dr.
Vishnuvardhan,
Real
star
Upendra,
Golden
star
Ganesh,
Dr.
Raj
family
members
Shivaraj
Kumar,
Puneet
Rajkumar,
Parvathamma
Rajkumar
remained
absent
on
the
eve
of
Rajyothsava
of
Artistes
Association.
It
is
said
that
on
the
very
moment,
he
had
decided
to
step
down
from
the
president
ship.
However,
senior
actor
Doddanna,
producer
Rockline
Venkatesh,
director
Prem
have
hoped
to
convince
Ambi
and
bring
him
back.
