Kannada superstar Dr Vishnuvardhan passed away into the ages in the early hours of Wednesday following a cardiac arrest. He was only 59.

The superstar has given us some great hits like Vamsha Vruksha, Nagarahaavu, Suprabhatha, Leela, Bandhana, Kaidhi and Yajamana. In fact, his 200th film Aaptha Rakshaka is going to be released shortly.

We, at rediff.com, join his fans in mourning, and pay tribute to the star.

Here's your chance to offer your condolences too.
