Son of matinee idol Rajkumar, Puneeth is fondly called 'Appu' by his fans. He started his career as a child artist with his father in the early 1980s. ' Raam', 'Hudugaru', and 'Anjani Putra' are some of his memorable movies. He was last seen in 'Yuvarathnaa', which was released early this year.
Soon after the news of Rajkumar's hospitalisation went viral, panic-stricken fans and colleagues from the film industry have thronged the hospital.
