‘Ambi Ning Vayassayth­o’ will screen again in the UAE from today

Veteran Kannada actor Ambareesh died on November 24 following a cardiac arrest leaving behind a void in the industry.

As a tribute to the late actor, his latest film Ambi Ning Vayassayth­o is releasing again in the UAE from today.

Beginning his career in antagonist roles, the Mandya native and former Union Minister has more than 200 films to his credit. He was fondly known as ‘Rebel Star.’

Actor-producer Rockline Venkatesh, who grew up admiring the late actor’s films remembers him as an unassuming person despite his star status.

“He loved people and was fond of photograph­y. He was more a father figure to me.” Venkatesh has produced three films of Ambareesh and also has acted opposite him, a dream come true for the fan.

Ambareesh’s last film Ambi Ning Vayassayth­o released in September in India. Directed by Gurudatta Ganiga, the film is an emotional family drama with Ambareesh playing the lead character around whom the story is pivoted. He plays a stunt master who has retired from films and is living with his son and family.

Suhasini Mani Ratnam is paired opposite Ambareesh, as they work together for the first time in 14 years.
