The aftermath of Puneeth Rajkumar’s passing saw a massive frenzy breakout on the streets of Bengaluru. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Karnataka government and the deployed police force that one saw things unfold completely under control, thus allowing fans and admirers from all over to pay their tributes to Appu’s mortal remains in a rather disciplined manner. And this also ensured that many of Puneeth Rajkumar’s colleagues, especially from the Telugu Film Industry, could pay homage to the 46-year-old actor.
However, Allu Arjun, who was unable to come down to Bengaluru at the time due to other commitments, made sure to personally condole the death of the ‘James‘ actor and also interact with the Dr. Rajkumar family during his visit. Allu Arjun is currently shooting for the second installment of ‘Pushpa’, titled ‘Pushpa: The Rule’.
Puneeth Rajkumar’s ‘James’, on the other hand, is gearing for a March 17th release to mark his 47th birth anniversary. Following his demise, older brother Shiva Rajkumar stepped in to dub for his character and also play a cameo in the film along with Raghavendra Rajkumar.
