SMK condoles Vishnu's demise

Krishna met  Bharathi along with other members of the family and offered words of consolation to them.

Addressing the media after his interaction with the family, Krishna said that Vishnuvardhan was a fan favourite not only due to his acting but also because of his personality. He praised the star’s gentle spiritual nature and said that his mild manners made him even more endearing to the public.

Krishna added that Vishnuvardhan had created a space and a history for himself in Kannada filmdom with his distinct acting and roles.

He also said that the late star was a role model for everybody and welcomed the government’s decision to set up a memorial in his name.
