Kannada matinee idol Dr Vishnuvardhan's memorial at Abhiman Studio in Bengaluru was demolished overnight.

Actors like Kichcha Sudeep, Rishab Shetty, Upendra and more, voiced their opinions on the matter on social happened to Dr Vishnuvardhan's memorial at Abhiman Studio?On the night of Thursday, August 7-8, 2025, under police protection and reportedly on High Court orders, the structure at Abhiman Studio - where Vishnuvardhan was cremated in 2009 - was abruptly demolished by a member of the Balakrishna family. This demolition became the reason for the uproar among fans, who received an emotional blow when they witnessed the disappearance of their idol's memorial without any prior notice. advertisementThe core of the controversy stems from a prolonged legal dispute. In 2015, the Karnataka government allotted two acres at the site to the Vishnuvardhan Memorial Trust, but the Balakrishna family - owners of the studio where Vishnuvardhan was cremated - challenged the allocation, resulting in years of litigation that ended in this dramatic court-ordered action. The decision to unceremoniously uproot the memorial, which included an 8-foot statue of the actor, seems to have been taken to avoid public resistance. However, the move appears to have had the opposite effect, riling up innumerable fans of the Kannada cine-legend in their quest to get a memorial built at their hero's final resting stars of today enraged by the demolitionScenes of grief and fury unfolded outside the demolished site. Several fans were taken into preventive custody in order to control the situation.

His funeral was held at Abhiman Studio, making the location deeply symbolic for Abhiman Studio?Abhiman Studio, a well-known landmark in the Kannada film industry, was the site where Vishnuvardhan was cremated with state honours on December 30, 2009.

Abhiman Studio, with its open grounds, became the natural choice, similar to Dr Rajkumar, who was cremated in Kanteerava Studios in happened in court?In August 2023, the Karnataka High Court set aside two government orders issued in September 2015 that had allotted two acres of Abhiman Studio land in Mylasandra, Kengeri, for building a memorial. The land belonged to the heirs of veteran actor-producer TN Balakrishna, who argued that the allotment was made under government pressure, without proper consent, and that the promised compensation of Rs 1 crore per acre was never court found merit in these claims, ruling that the acquisition lacked due process. It restored ownership to Balakrishna's family, effectively halting the memorial's construction and paving the way for the eventual demolition in 2025. This decision was aided by the government's move to develop a memorial for the actor in is Dr Vishnuvardhan Memorial Complex?Despite repeated demands from admirers for a permanent tribute at the cremation site, the unresolved property dispute compelled Vishnuvardhan's family to settle for a memorial built in Mysuru over 5 acres of land.

Memorial Complex in Mysuru (PC: X/Chandrashekar Dhage) The government reportedly sanctioned around Rs 8 crore to Rs 11 crore and allotted approximately five acres of land in Mysuru, located at Halalu village near Udbur Gate on the Mysuru - HD Kote Road. However, to many fans, this location does not hold the same sacred value as the final resting place of the great actor in Abhiman there more to the story of this demolition?The demolition of Vishnuvardhan's memorial has not only angered fans but also stirred allegations that hint at deeper disputes. Vishnuvardhan Fans Association president Veerakaputra Srinivasa expressed heartbreak over what he called an '11-year-long struggle gone down the drain.' He claimed the Balakrishna heirs intended to replace the site with a Balakrishna's daughter, Geeta Bali, alleged political involvement and said, 'I had no idea that something like this was going to happen. It was wrong to do something like this without informing anyone. I had nothing to do with this. It was my nephew Karthik, who took this decision, and it has come to my notice that there are politicians backing him.' These claims, though unverified, have intensified public suspicion that there is more to the demolition than meets the Kannada cinema's triumvirate be reunited in Kanteerava Studio? Vishnuvardhan (Right), Rajkumar (Centre) and Ambareesh (Left) (PC: X/Sumalatha Ambareesh) The biggest question left behind is: why was Vishnuvardhan not cremated in Kanteerava Studio? While it is understandable that creating an individual memorial for the legend might have been the motive, everything that has transpired over the last 15 years - family and fans struggling to respectfully erect a memorial in Bengaluru - makes it clear that a lasting solution is Studio hosts the memorials of Dr Rajkumar and Ambareesh, two of the three most celebrated stars of Kannada cinema. It also houses the memorial of Dr Puneeth Rajkumar. There are now calls to build a memorial for Vishnuvardhan alongside Rajkumar and Ambareesh, completing the triumvirate of Kannada cine-legends.- EndsMust Watch
