Show
Of
Ego
On
The
stage?
The
day
was
marked
to
celebrate
the
legacy
and
life
of
Dr
Rajkumar.
All
the
senior
artists
like
Ambareesh,
Sumalatha
and
Leelavathi
performed
on
the
stage
to
the
cheering
of
the
enthusiastic
crowd.
But
being
the
young
guns
of
the
industry,
Darshan
and
Sudeep
did
not
dance
during
the
ceremony.
They
came
on
stage
and
waved
their
hand
to
the
audience.
Fans
Feel
Insulted
To
celebrate
the
inauguration
of
Dr
Rajkumar
memorial,
it
was
decided
that
all
the
dance
performance
will
be
on
the
song
from
Dr
Rajkumar's
movies.
Sudeep
and
Darshan
were
supposed
to
perform
on
the
song
Baghya
Enila
from
the
movie
Apoorva
Sangama.
Instead
the
two
actor
did
a
ramp
walk.
Too
Lazy
To
Dance?
The
fans
felt
that
when
senior
artists
could
perform
on
the
day
in
spite
of
their
old
age,
Sudeep
should
not
have
been
lazy
to
perform
a
dance
sequence.
The
program
was
made
to
celebrate
Dr
Rajkumar's
life.
People
felt,
Sudeep
should
not
have
been
so
callous
about
it.
Skipping
Rehearsals!
To
perform
on
the
D-day,
many
actors
and
artists
had
been
rehearsing
meticulously
for
almost
4
days.
However,
both
Darshan
and
Sudeep
skipped
the
rehearsals
for
the
program
and
were
not
prepared
for
the
dance
at
all.
Fans
feel
that
the
duo
have
disrespected
Dr
Raj
by
doing
so.
Not
Even
A
Small
Speech?
One
can
perhaps
excuse
the
two
actors
for
being
too
busy
to
come
for
the
rehearsals
and
practice
for
the
event.
But
the
duo
did
not
even
speak
a
few
words
after
coming
on
the
stage.
Both,
Darshan
and
Sudeep
came,
waved
their
hands
and
walked
back.
Problems
In
Sudeep
And
Darshan's
Friendship?
The
organizers
had
selected
the
song
very
cleverly
for
Darshan
and
Sudeep.
The
song
from
the
movie
Apoorva
Sangama
was
enacted
by
Dr.
Rajkumar
and
Shankar
Nag.
The
song
signified
their
friendship.
However,
Sudeep
entered
the
stage
alone
in
the
beginning
of
the
song
and
left
after
a
few
minutes.
Darshan
entered
the
stage
along
with
Bullet
Prakash
by
the
end
of
the
song.
Shivaraj
Kumar's
Personal
Invitation
We
cannot
say
with
certainty
if
there
exists
bad
blood
between
Shivaraj
Kumar
and
Sudeep.
But
keeping
all
personal
problems
aside,
Shivanna
had
given
a
personal
invitation
to
Sudeep
to
come
and
attend
the
program
and
perform
along
with
Darshan.
Sudeep
had
accepted
the
invitation.
Then
why
did
he
not
perform?
The
Crowd
Booed
The
Actors
Very
clearly,
the
crowd,
who
had
come
to
see
the
celebration
of
Dr
Rajkumar's
life,
were
unhappy
with
the
conduct
of
the
two
actors.
They
booed
both,
Darshan
and
Sudeep
for
not
performing
on
the
stage
and
termed
it
as
an
insult
to
Dr
Rajkumar.
Non-Participation
In
Dr
Raj
Cup
Sudeep
is
the
captain
of
the
Karnataka
Bulldozers
cricket
team
and
has
taken
part
in
KPL
too.
However,
he
did
not
participate
in
the
Dr
Raj
cricket
tournament.
Many
producers
met
the
actor
and
tried
to
convince
him
to
take
part
in
the
game.
But
the
actor
did
not
comply
to
their
requests.
Bad
Blood
With
Shivaraj
Kumar?
Sudeep's
ego
clash
with
Shivaraj
Kumar
has
been
known
for
a
long
time.
Sudeep
did
a
voice
over
for
Shivaraj
Kumar's
Aryan.
Sudeep
courted
controversy
by
saying
that
he
did
only
for
the
director.
Time
and
again,
the
two
actors
have
excused
themselves
from
sharing
the
stage.
Was
that
the
the
reason
for
this
behavior?
What
Happened
To
Darshan?
While
Sudeep's
behavior
could
be
attributed
to
his
clash
with
Shivaraj
Kumar,
people
are
still
not
able
to
understand
Darshan's
decision.
Darshan's
father
Thogudeep
Srinivas
was
a
good
friend
of
Dr
Rajkumar.
When
the
family
is
close,
why
did
the
star
chose
not
to
perform
on
the
stage?
