Kannada
actor
Ambareesh
has
left
for
heavenly
and
the
much
loved
star's
death
has
left
the
entire
film
fraternity
as
well
as
the
Kannada
movie
lovers
deeply
sorrowed.
In
a
career
spanning
more
than
4
decades,
he
entertained
the
audiences
with
his
movies
and
majority
of
his
films
had
turned
out
to
be
big
hits
at
the
box
office.
He
might
have
started
off
his
acting
career
doing
supporting
role
and
negative
characters
but
with
his
hard-work,
dedication
and
perseverance,
he
emerged
as
one
among
the
leading
actors
of
the
Kannada
film
industry.
In
fact,
Ambareesh
holds
a
big
record,
which
is
seemingly
hard
to
be
broken.
Ambareesh
holds
the
record
for
doing
maximum
number
of
Kannada
movies
as
a
lead
actor.
According
to
Wikipedia,
Ambareesh
played
the
lead
character
in
as
many
as
208
movies
and
is
ahead
of
the
likes
of
other
legendary
actors
like
Dr
Rajkumar
and
Vishnuvardhan.
Well,
this
indeed
is
a
big
achievement,
especially
considering
the
fact
that
majority
of
these
200
movies
have
come
between
the
years
1980
and
2000.
In
fact,
there
were
years
when
he
went
on
to
appear
in
more
than
8
movies.
This
rightly
shows
the
huge
popularity
that
the
actor
enjoyed
among
the
masses.
