It’s been a year since the untimely demise of Kannada actor Sanchari Vijay. The actor passed away last year on June 15, 2021, in a fatal bike accident.
A popular Kannada cinema actor and national awardee, Vijay was known for inhabiting his characters on screen and portraying them with ease and conviction. The remarkable versatility which he brought to his diverse array of roles can be ascribed, in part, to his years of theatre training and practice at Sanchari, a Bengaluru-based theatre troupe, which earned him the stage name Sanchari Vijay.
In memory of Vijay and his close association with theatre, Sanchari is organising a three-day theatre festival from August 5-7. The festival will stage three plays of Vijay, reconstructed with the assistance of old artistes and the involvement of new artistes.
