Mangaluru : Tulunadu Raksha Vedike on Wednesday staged a protest demanding renaming of the Clock Tower Circle as K.N. Tailor Circle in the memory of the veteran actor’s contribution to the Tulu film industry.
Addressing the protesters here, vedike’s founder Yogish Shetty Jeppu said that the veteran actor continues to be an household name in the region because of his films and dramas. Many of his dramas staged under the banner of Ganesh Nataka Sabha have been trendsetters and have brought to the fore talented actors and technicians.
K.N. Tailor died on March 18, 2015.
The civic body and the State government, however, have failed to take any action to further the memory of the veteran and popular actor. Mr. Jeppu said that the State government should institute an award in the name of the veteran actor. The corporation should rename the Clock Tower Circle in his name, he said.
