Siddaramaiah appeals to build film city in the name of Ambareesh
Ambareesh condolence meeting
Bengaluru, November 30: Former chief minister Siddaramaiah said that as per the desire of Ambareesh, a film city should be constructed in Mysuru and be named after him.
Speaking at a condolence meeting to pay homage to the departed actor, organized by the Karnataka Film Chamber and the film industry at Ambedkar Bhavan in the city on Friday, Siddaramaiah said that it was Ambareesh’s desire to construct a film city in Mysuru, for which his government had sanctioned the land in Mysuru and the work was under progress, he said and asked Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy to expedite the work and name it after Ambareesh.
“Ambareesh was introduced to me in a hotel in 1973 when I was an advocate. By that time, he had acted in Nagarahavu film. His words might be harsh, but his heart was so soft. He was a good friend of mine. Interestingly, both film industry and politics were not his interested areas. When Deve Gowda was the Prime Minister, we had forced him to contest the election as he has his own influence in both Mandya and Ramanagar. He has no enemies in politics and film industry”, Siddaramaiah recalled.
