Shankar
Nag
is
one
of
the
prominent
names
of
the
Kannada
Film
Industry.
It's
been
over
three
decades
since
he
passed,
but
his
memories
remain
afresh.
Not
only
was
he
a
brilliant
actor
and
director,
but
also
a
philanthropist.
Crazy
Star
Ravichandran,
who
is
one
of
the
judges
on
the
dancing
reality
show
Thakadhimitha,
recently
remembered
the
master
mind
of
Sandalwood.
He
made
a
few
shocking
revelations
about
Shankar
Nag.
He
opened
about
an
incident
that
we
had
never
heard
of
before.
During
a
special
episode
dedicated
to
the
veteran
actors
of
Karnataka,
Ravichandran
remembering
Shankar
Nag
said
that,
"
When
I
talk
about
Shankar
Nag,
it
brings
chill
to
my
body.
He
is
the
man
who
always
chased
time.
Even
time
was
jealous
of
this
man.
I
had
gotten
involved
in
an
issue
once."
Apparently,
Ravichandran
faced
a
disturbing
period
after
being
accused
to
speaking
unpleasant
about
the
regional
language.
I
wasn't
able
to
step
out
of
the
house.
Nobody
I
knew
came
forward
to
help
me.
I
was
based
in
Mysore
back
then.
Shankar
Nag
had
himself
come
looking
for
me."
Shankar
Nag
backed
him
up
saying,
"Don't
be
afraid.
Face
it
with
courage.
You
present
the
truth
before
the
people.
The
ones
I
expected
didn't
come,
but
Shankar
Nag
helped
me." He
further
added,
"he
always
thought
ahead
of
time.
He
had
shared
the
idea
of
constructing
cable
cars
at
Nandi
Hills
and
building
a
house
in
just
Rs
30,000.
He
was
our
teacher.
