Actor Puneeth, one of the top actors in the Kannada film industry, passed away on October 21, last year, after suffering a cardiac arrest. Puneeth, who enjoys a huge fan base, holds the distinction of being the first Indian actor whose first six films completed a 100-day run in theatres.

The fans of Puneeth Rajkumar will be able to see their beloved star on the big screen for the one last time when his action thriller movie, "James" is slated for March 17 release. The first look poster of Puneeth from the film was released on the occasion of 73rd Republic Day.

Thalapathy Vijay, on the other hand, will next be seen in director Nelson Dilipkumar's "Beast", which is slated for April 14, 2022, release. He also has films with directors Vamshi, Lokesh Kangagraj, and Atlee.
