There's
no
denying
that
Saturday(November
24,
2018)
was
a
sad
day
for
the
countless
fans
of
Kannada
cinema.
The
legendary
Ambareesh
passed
away
in
Bengaluru
shortly
after
being
admitted
to
a
private
hospital
because
of
respiratory
problems.
As
expected,
this
created
a
buzz
in
the
industry
and
left
everyone
in
a
state
of
shock.
Now,
in
a
shocking
revelation,
it
seems
that
a
die-hard
fan
of
the
'Rebel
Star'
committed
suicide
after
hearing
about
his
death.
This
is
a
shocking
development
and
it
makes
Ambi's
death
even
more
devastating.
The
fan's
decision
to
take
the
extreme
step
proves
that
Ambi
was
indeed
a
cult
figure.
For
the
uninitiated,
Ambareesh
had
acted
in
over
200
films
in
his
illustrious
career
and
become
an
integral
part
of
the
Kannada
film
industry.
He
made
his
debut
with
the
1972
film
Naagarahaavu
which
proved
to
be
a
cult
classic.
Thereafter,
he
acted
in
numerous
films
across
various
languages
and
proved
his
mettle.
Ambareesh
was
last
seen
in
the
Sudeep-produced
Ambi
Ning
Vayassaytho
which
emerged
as
a
big
hit
at
the
box
office
and
received
rave
reviews
from
the
critics.
It
was
a
remake
of
Dhanush's
Kollywood
film
Power
Pandi
and
saw
him
essay
the
role
played
by
Rajkiran
in
the
original
version.
