Puneeth
Rajkumar,
like
other
actors,
is
current
homebound
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
nationwide
lockdown.
However,
on
the
occasion
of
his
father,
megastar
Dr.
Rajkumar’s
birth
anniversary
(April
24,
2019),
Puneeth
opened
up
about
him
to
India
Today.
Puneeth
said,
“I
am
so
happy
and
blessed
to
say
that
I'm
in
his
son.
There
are
statues
of
him
across
Karnataka,
and
people
usually
celebrate
this
day
in
a
big
way.
But,
this
year,
his
fan
associations
have
taken
the
opportunity
to
give
ration
to
people
and
spread
awareness
during
the
Covid-19
crisis.
They
have
been
doing
this
from
the
day
the
lockdown
was
announced.
It's
so
nice
of
them.”
He
went
on
to
add,
“After
a
long
time,
we
went
to
the
samadhi
(his
resting
place
called
Dr.
Rajkumar
Samadhi)
once
we
got
permissions.
We
were
also
talking
about
which
film
of
his
to
watch.
I
came
live
on
Instagram
and
dedicated
a
song
for
all
his
fans.
I
still
see
kids
who
are
listening
to
his
songs.”
Later,
on
being
quizzed
if
he
plans
on
going
pan-India
with
his
films
in
the
future,
Puneeth
replied,
“Cinema
has
no
language.
Our
films
which
have
been
made
here
are
dubbed
across
India.
Now,
films
have
gone
global
and
we
just
have
to
look
for
the
right
content.
I
feel
blessed
to
know
that
people
recognize
me
in
North
India
and
abroad
because
our
films
have
been
dubbed.
Acting
has
no
language
today.
I'm
open
to
anything
that
gives
out
a
good
message
and
is
entertaining.”
