It's been a year since #PuneethRajkumar's death and Ill share collected pictures over this year of his immortalization in Bangalore City. 1/n 
A number of restos have an "Appu" menu, curated by his family. I sampled the menu 2 weeks back, and keep crossing life size cutouts of Puneeth at other restos.
Here's a write up:

3/n Back to this lovely sight, much to be said (& many academics have already studied) the god-ification of S Indian actors. Puneeth here, living on at the same stature as gods- the hope he gives people, which is essentially the purpose god is supposed to serve #PuneethRajkumar
4/n Here's a cutie- An auto driver who has got a pic of him &his son (maybe?) printed out along with Appu- Appu has a god stature but unlike god... He's relatable, everyone loves him, they'll even photoshop their photo with his (which is not something we do w/ our other gods :-s)
5/n I was old enough and around enough (in school in Bangalore) when Puneeth's father, Dr Rajkumar, died. I remember the trepidation in the city. And I was around when Puneeth passed as well. #PuneethRajkumarLivesOn
