Team Vikrant Rona pays tribute to Puneeth Rajkumar
In a tribute to Puneeth Rajkumar from Vikrant Rona director, Anup Bhandari dedicates a scene to the Power Star. “’Patte Patte Huli. Kotte Kotte Togo’ was the password that was used in a scene featuring Puneeth Rajkumar in the 1989 film, Parashurama. This also stars his father, the legendary actor Dr. Rajkumar. This password became an inspiration for Vikrant Rona. I had watched the film as a child, and as kids, we would often use it in our games. Now this password becomes part of my film too. I used it while penning the dialogues for the film 3 years ago,” says the director, adding, “I didn’t even think while penning this dialogue at that time that it would come as a tribute to Appu.”
