Puneeth was taken to the Vikaram Hospital in Bengaluru Friday morning after he complained of chest pain.

The actor has often spoken about fitness and has shared photos as well as videos of him working out in gym.

Son of matinee idol Rajkumar, Puneeth is fondly called ‘Appu’ by his fans. He started his career as a child artist with his father in the early 1980s. ‘ Raam’, ‘Hudugaru’, and ‘Anjani Putra’ are some of his memorable movies. He was last seen in ‘Yuvarathnaa’, which was released early this year.

Puneeth is survived by his wife, Ashwini Revani, and two daughters, Drithi and Vandhitha.
