In
an
unfortunate
and
shocking
development,
Kannada
actor
and
the
nted
politician
Ambareesh
passed
away
on
Saturday(November
24,
2018)
at
a
private
hospital
in
Bengaluru
after
suffering
from
a
cardiac
arrest..
He
had
made
his
big
screen
debut
in
1972
with
the
iconic
Vishnuvardhan
starrer
Naagarahaavu
and
began
his
career
on
a
good
note.
Thereafter,
went
on
to
star
in
several
popular
films
and
this
helped
him
become
an
integral
part
of
the
industry.
During
his
career,
he
shared
with
the
Kollywood
legend
Rajinikanth
and
remained
good
friends
with
him.
The
two
even
worked
together
in
the
Tamil
movie
Priya
and
this
made
their
friendship
even
stronger.
Here
are
some
rare
photos
of
the
two
legends.
Not
surprisingly,
Rajini
was
one
of
the
first
stars
to
react
to
Ambareesh's
death.
In
his
tweet,
he
said
that
he
had
lost
a
good
friend
and
a
'wonderful
human
being'.
On
a
related
note,
Ambareesh
had
acted
in
over
200
films
in
his
career
and
proved
his
mettle.
He
was
last
seen
in
the
recently
released
Ambi
Ning
Vayassaytho
which
did
well
at
the
box
office.
It
was
a
remake
of
Power
Pandi
and
featured
him
in
the
lead
role.
His
last
movie
Kurukshethra
is
at
the
post-production
stage.
Ambi
will
be
missed
by
one
and
all
and
we
hpe
that
his
near
and
dear
ones
stay
strong
in
this
difficult
time.
