Kannada actor-producer Shivarajkumar recently talked about his upcoming film Ghost, directed by M. G. Srinivas, during a promotion event in Mumbai. During the interview, he shared how challenging it was for his family to cope with the untimely passing of his younger brother, Puneeth Rajkumar, in 2021.
Reflecting on Puneeth’s death, Shivarajkumar, the elder brother, said that it was incredibly tough for the family. “It was a hard time for our entire family as he was the youngest. Especially for me, he was like a little brother. There’s a 13-year age gap between us, so it’s painful at times. However, life must go on. We have to cherish his good memories and keep his spirit alive. I don’t want to limit my connection with him to just prayers at his memorial. I want to carry his essence with me always and share it with the world,” he shared.
Puneeth Rajkumar, the youngest son of famous Kannada actor Dr. Rajkumar, was affectionately known as Appu. He tragically passed away at the age of 46 due to a heart attack.
Shivarajkumar’s movie “Ghost” is set to release on October 20 in five languages: Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam. It will be in competition with Vijay’s film “Leo,” which premiered on October 19.
When asked about the clash with Vijay’s Leo, Shivarajkumar remarked, “It is not a clash. I don’t feel it is a clash because we are all friends. Everybody opts for the holiday as everybody wants to take advantage of the day. Same thing with us. We announced (the release of Ghost) back in July. We had to encash on the holiday time because Dussehra is for everybody. Dusshera holiday almost lasts two to three weeks, so everybody wants to take advantage of that. So, we don’t think of it as a clash. We all will get an advantage of the holidays, and every film will do fairly well.”
