Late Kannada Powerstar Puneeth Rajkumar’s highly-anticipated film James turned into a long-awaited one after his sudden demise. The whole of Karnataka and several fans across the globe waited for today as the film got released on the eve of his first birth anniversary.
The film is receiving a massive response from fans, besides people getting emotional at the theatres. Puneeth’s brother Shivarajkumar also made sure to watch his late brother’s last film first-day in the theatres. Shivraj was also seen waving at the fans after watching James in Mysuru.
However, Puneeth’s wife Ashwini is still grieving and has not come to terms with the passing away of her husband. When asked if she is watching the film today, Ashwini said, “I just cannot. I don’t think I will be able to watch the film”. This process takes time and involves many different emotions and we can totally understand. She further added that “While it has been difficult to accept his loss, it has been very overwhelming to see the love Puneeth had gained through his works”.
Meanwhile, Shivarajkumar has even dubbed for Puneeth’s leftover portions and called it an emotionally hard journey for him to watch his brother on screen while doing so. It is a bittersweet day for Puneeth’s fans and family. The actor passed away due to a massive heart attack in October last year. James will be the only movie for screening this week, till March 25, as a tribute to him.
