Actor and Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambareesh has extended her heartfelt wishes to Darshan’s much-anticipated Kannada film The Devil, while clearly stating that she is only a well-wisher and not involved in the movie’s promotions.
Speaking to the media during the death anniversary of her husband, legendary actor Ambareesh, she shared:
“I am not directly involved in the movie’s promotion. The Devil team is handling the publicity well. As a well-wisher, I only wish the best for the film The Devil.”
Sumalatha also appreciated Darshan’s fans for their dedication and expressed confidence that the film will do well at the box office.
A Special Bond With Darshan
It is notable that Darshan currently in judicial custody in connection with the Renukaswamy murder case has always publicly referred to Sumalatha as “Mother India.”
Darshan, along with Yash, played a crucial role in campaigning for Sumalatha during the 2019 Parliamentary elections, helping her win the Mandya seat as an Independent candidate against Nikhil Kumaraswamy.
The Devil Releases Without Darshan
With Darshan unable to participate in promotions, The Devil is set to release on December 11 in his absence. His wife Vijayalakshmi and the film’s team have been actively promoting the project across Karnataka.
About the Film
The Devil marks the second collaboration between Darshan and director Prakash Veer.
The film stars Rachana Rai in the female lead and has already created significant buzz through its teasers, promo videos, and music.
Fans and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting the film’s release, hoping it will be one of the biggest Kannada hits of the year.
