In a well attended ‘Shraddanjali’ – Ambi Namana the Karnataka chief minister HD Kumaraswamy announced that the home town of his Ramanagara will have Film University in the name of Dr Ambarish while the already announced Film City in Mysuru will be named after Dr Rajakumar.

On the issue of giving security and safe final rites as chief minister in 2006 it could not be all that correct with the demise of Dr Rajakumar, I remembered it and taken ample care in conducting final rites for Dr Ambarish he mentioned.  In fact HD Kumaraswamy wanted to do a film with his son Nikil Kumar and Dr Ambarish with the title ‘Rebel’. This could not happen. Ambarish has permanent place in our hearts mentioned chief Minister Kumaraswamy.

Former chief minister Siddaramaiah remembered the days of his friendship with Ambarish in 1973. He said he and Sri Deve Gowda forced him to join to politics. He was a man with no disparity. As a politician and actor he reached to a peak because of such qualities.
