Another Death in Kantara 2 Team: The Kannada film fraternity is shocked by yet another sorrowful death as actor Rakesh Poojary, who was a part of Kantara 2’s crew, died of a heart attack at an untimely age of 34. Just a week back, yet another young talent was murdered by drowning on the film’s behalf, and questions regarding artists’ health while working on the film have begun.
Poojary, who had worked in Kannada and Tulu films, passed away reportedly after falling ill during a mehendi ceremony in Nitte of Udupi district, and co-stars and fans are left stunned. After the shooting of Kantara Chapter 1, his untimely death has surrounded the industry in gloom as it is still to recover from the shock of another co-star dying in an accident.
Despite the fact that Rakesh died due to a cardiac arrest, his untimely death has again placed the issue of disease transmission in the business in the limelight. Stress, irregular working hours, and non-healthy lifestyles are primarily connected with the rise in heart disease among young actors.
Experts’ view is that the frenzied pace of movie shoots—tireless working hours, backbreaking physical labor, and stressful working conditions—has a direct impact on actors’ health. Frequent check-ups, stress management, and healthy diet cannot be overemphasized for people in stressful vocations such as the movies.
tributes flooded in across the industry, with co-stars recalling Poojary’s polite nature, hardworking professionalism, and seemingly boundless supplies of energy levels. Actor Pruthvi Aambar and Comedy Khiladigalu judge Rakshitha were two individuals who were grieving over his loss, recalling how dearly he was loved across Kannada entertainment circles.
With two back-to-back tragedies involving Kantara 2, the industry is being prompted tough questions regarding workplace health and wellbeing. While accidents and illness cannot always be avoided, heightened health awareness, stress control, and upkeep can certainly aid in preventing such tragedies to the extent possible.
