Ambareesh (Boss) To the world you will forever be beloved for your work in the movies and politics. But for me you will always be one of the first real friends I made from those early “madras days” when all of us would film our respective movies in chennai. Our friendship grew over the years and we always managed to stay in touch. It was truly special to me when you embraced the lead role when “New Delhi” was remade in Kannada. No matter what I write I cannot express the loss I feel. Will miss you “boss” and how you would always call me that.
