Bangalore:  Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda launched a veiled attack on former CM BS Yeddyurappa on May 29, Tuesday on the occasion of the inaugural of a photo exhibition ‘Amba Bimba’ to commemorate the 60th birthday of the veteran Kannada star Ambarish. It may be recalled here that Ambarish who had entered the film industry as a villain, later became popular as a hero.

Taking cognizance of this fact, the CM said so “ If  Amba-Bimba  who entered filmdom as a villain later grew as a leader, there are some of our people who enter politics as leader and then turn into villains in the society.”

The CM also highly appreciated the contributions of Ambarish to the Kannada film industry.

Senior actress Jayanthi described Ambarish as a great friend and above all a great human being. Veteran actress Jayamala,  Film Academy President Tara, noted actor Upendra and others were present.
