Kannada actor and former union minister Ambareesh passes away at 66

Kannada actor and former union minister Ambareesh passes away at 66 The resuscitation efforts continued even as he was being rushed to the hospital. "Despite all aggressive resuscitation efforts, he could not be revived," read the official statement of the hospital. The actor was declared dead at 10:15 pm on Saturday. Ambareesh was lovingly called 'Rebel Star' by his fans and the members of the film fraternity and it seemed perfectly fitting for his nonsense off-screen persona. A native of Mandya district, he was also celebrated by the Kannada film industry as Mandyada Gandu (Man of Mandya). He has acted in over 200 films in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Born on 29 May 1952, Ambareesh made his screen debut in 1972 with Naagarahaavu. The film helmed by legendary filmmaker Puttanna Kanagal also marked the debut of late matinee idol Vishnuvardhan, who achieved an overnight stardom in Karnataka with his raw performance as a hotheaded and proud youngster. Ambareesh had played the supporting role in the film and his 'aye bulbul' dialogue, an improvised catcalling, made him a sensation among the Kannada audience. It's worth noting that, while Ambareesh played Vishnuvardhan's rival in Naagarahaavu, in real life, they both shared a close friendship. After playing supporting roles in a few more films, Ambareesh became a lead actor by playing action roles. He ruled the silver screen in Karnataka through the 80s with his "angry young man" roles. He also sporadically did movies in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi film industry during his formative years. In the early 90s, Ambareesh took a plunge into politics. He had been a member of the Congress party and Janata Dal party. Ambareesh had served as Member of Parliament and was Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting in the UPA government led by Manmohan Singh. However, he resigned from the Lok Sabha membership, expressing dissatisfaction with the Cauvery Dispute Tribunal award. The actor was also Minister of Housing in the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government, but he later resigned.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. pic.twitter.com/avwM2rwqiv - Congress (@INCIndia) November 24, 2018 Ambareesh was last seen in Ambi Ning Vayassaytho, which was the remake of Tamil film Pa.Pandi. Kannada star Sudeep had produced and played a cameo in the film which released earlier this year.
