Kannada film star Puneeth Rajkumar, who died in 2021, will be conferred the Karnataka Ratna award posthumously, on November 1, Kannada Rajyotsava or the State’s formation day, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on October 20.

Puneeth Rajkumar died on October 29, 2021. He will be the 10th recipient of the State's highest civilian honour.

Mr. Bommai chaired a meeting on the matter and decided to hold the award presentation ceremony on the steps of the Vidhana Soudha on November 1 at 4 p.m. The late matinee idol Rajkumar, father of Puneeth, had been honoured with the Karnataka Ratna award in 1992.
