state
of
shock.

his
family
members
expressed
a
desire
to
have
it
in
Bengaluru.
Amidst
this
controversy,
the
Karnataka
CM
made
it
clear
that
the
funeral
would
be
held
in
Bengaluru
on
November
26,
2018.
As
a
result
of
the
CM's
instructions,
the
funeral
took
place
today(November
26,
2018)
at
the
Kanteerava
Studio
with
State
honours.
Some
of
the
biggest
names
in
the
industry
attended
the
funeral.
Yash,
Darshan
and
Shivarajkumar
were
just
a
few
of
the
stars
in
attendance,
The
'Rocking
Star'
was
seen
consoling
Ambi's
wife
and
his
kind
gesture
won
hearts.

In
case
you
did
not
know,
Ambareesh
had
acted
in
over
200
films
in
his
career
and
become
an
inseparable
part
of
the
industry.
He
began
his
career
with
the
1972
release
Naagarahaavu
which
is
regarded
as
a
cult
film.
Ambi
was
last
seen
in
the
recently
released
Ambi
Ning
Vayassaytho
which
emerged
as
a
commercial
success
and
received
rave
reviews.
It
was
a
remake
of
the
Kollywood
film
Power
Pandi
and
featured
him
in
the
lead
role.
He
truly
was
the
pride
of
Karnataka
and
will
be
missed
big
time.
