Producer-novelist-director Agni Shridhar has decided to pay his last tribute to Sandalwood's ace cameraman Sundarnath Suvarna. The cinematographer, who recently passed away, had worked with Shridhar in his directorial debut Thamassu.

Thamassu has won three State Awards - Best Movie, Best Screenplay (Agni Sridhar) and Best Supporting Actor - Female (Harshika Poonacha). The movie had Shivaraj Kumar, Padmapriya, Yash and Nassar in the important roles. Sources said that Sridhar has decided to give away the full prize money to Suvarna's family and pay tribute to the ace cinematographer.

However, Shridhar has refused to disclose the fact of giving away the prize money to Sundarnath's family. Sundarnath Suvarna passed away on December 10, 2013 at his residence. It was reported that he was suffering from cancer and was under palliative care for few days.
