Mourning the death of thee filmmaker, Srinath said, “In the first two movies that Vijay Reddy directed in Kannada, I acted as a hero. Since then our friendship started growing stronger. We used to speak over the phone at least once a month. When I spoke to him last, he had spoken about his ill-health. It is sad that we have lost a legendary director. As a person, he was very calm, always had a smile on his face and whatever be the circumstances, he never lost his temper. Let his soul rest in peace.”(Source: Twitter)
