The South Indian International Movie Awards program is being held in grand style in our Bangalore city. In this program, a tribute is also paid to the deceased Appu. Dr. Puneeth Rajkumar starrer Yuvarathna has also been nominated in 7 categories at this year’s Saima Awards. Dr. Puneeth Rajkumar has been nominated under the Best Actor category. The best playback singer male category was won by singer Armaan Malik and directed by music director S Thaman. Singer Armaan Malik, who was nominated for the song ‘Neenadena’ from the film Yuvaratna, won the award.
Thus, Armaan Malik and S Thaman shared the joy of winning the award. S Thaman shared the news of winning the award on his official Twitter account and wrote emotionally, ‘My love for Puneeth Rajkumar Anna.. this award is for you Appu Anna’. SS Thaman, who has used tearful emojis in this tweet, remembers his favorite Kannada hero. Thaman, who became a top music director by giving hit songs in Telugu, entered the Kannada film industry through Puneeth Rajkumar starrer Power. Thaman, who worked as a music director for Dookudu, was chosen as the music director for this film, which was a remake of Mahesh Babu’s Dookudu. Thus, Puneeth Rajkumar is very dear to SS Thaman, who has been associated with Appu since then.
After Power, SS Thaman also worked as music director for Puneeth Rajkumar starrer Chakravyuha. And last year’s film Yuvratna starring Puneeth Rajkumar and directed by Santhosh Anand Ram also had SS Thaman’s music. Music director Thaman, who composed all the songs of the film Power and worked to get the triple diamond disc, has earned a lot of respect from Puneeth Rajkumar’s fans for the Pathashala song in the film. Even after Appu’s death, the song in this tune has remained forever in the hearts of Appu’s fans.
