Actor Vijay Raghavendra appears at movie trailer launch for the first time after wife’s death

BENGALURU: Actor Vijay Raghavendra launched the trailer of the movie ‘Kaddha Chitra’ at a private hotel event in the city on Saturday. He appeared on stage for the first time after the death of his wife Spandana.

The movie, which was supposed to hit the screens on August 26, was postponed due to Spandana’s sudden death. The movie trailer was released to commemorate the 16th wedding anniversary of actor Vijay Raghavendra and Spandana. He has dedicated the movie to his wife.

Addressing the gathering about the film ‘Kadda Chitra’, Vijay Raghavendra said, “This is not just a team; it is a group of friends; this is a dream of faith. At first, I was hesitant, but I said that I would work with faith. When a good team comes along, it does not feel like a burden. The trailer has been released and there will be a lot to talk about after the movie’s release. I will wait until then to speak more”.

The actor got emotional amid his speech and said, “When we became the story, you all stood with us, stood as mothers; no one treated us like outsiders; you were like family members. I have decided not to cry on stage. She wouldn’t like that either. You have made me a member of your family. I think it is my duty to promote the movie and I wish you all are with me. I feel you would hold my and my son’s hands too and will direct us. The songs in this movie are very good. The music director has given good songs”.
