    Rama Shetty part in "Ardh Satya" is a great act he played always remembers him. He is one of the most admirable actor in his negative role.
    God gave his family strength, courage to bear the loss and carry forward in their life.

    Indeed a great actor who worked well on the screens. His acts cannot be matched, as he has a style of himself. His comedy too was good and different in its own way. May the departed soul rest in peace. He shall be missed a lot.

    A very good & wonderful actor. May he rest in peace. His roles as a villain in Bollywood movies like Aakri Rasta with Bachchan saab & other movies like Sadak, Ardh Satya, will be in the memory of many for years to come. A unique actor with very distinctive acting ability and with a mixture of Marathi in dialogue, made him different from others.
