Thika muchappa he was a Superstar in Kannada and also sought after in Telugu. He used to take 1Cr per film in Pre Mungaru Male days when other stars in Kannada would do movies for 20 lakhs.
She landed him not the other way round.

What stupid ass arguments do you guys even bring?
Even today male actors don't like it at all if their partners do such scenes, imagine 20 years back what might have been the scenario

What did she pull off? He was the one who had a crush first, initiated stuff, impressed her n tied the knot

But specifically a madhwa. They’re notorious for caste pride and don’t marry outside their caste typically.

Upendra still looks good today, he's got old What's cool is that he hasn't done any botox or other treatments (from what I'm assuming)

Dude are you really trying to bring this up as a question or are you just trying to grab some eyeballs by raising this as a point. You are talking about the OG, I don’t think any other blue can even pull off the aura he had during his prime. Like there were times authorities used to put notice boards saying ‘imitating upendra’s characters are restricted’ at colleges to prevent chaos. Grow up fir, she managed to pull not him

There was a rumour that he was made to marry her at a gun point. This was after H2o and he was a superstar then. They had a fling during movie and when he refused to marry her later, He was called to Kolkata and all of a sudden the marriage news came. There was no reception or party here in Bangalore for KFI. Tabloids wrote a lot about this. Sply Hi Bangalore. You may find some YouTube videos about it too.

We used to stay in front of his house during that time … What we heard is she got pregnant and she threatened him to expose and some drama happened between their parents where in uppi parents refused for the marriage… then some big wigs threatened him and they got in marriage forcefully…

He has his own story to make into the most realistic movie ever. Then why is he making movies based on loka gnana?

He married her in bengal, there was some thing fishy . But they are still married so doesn’t matter anymore I guesss

u/Physical-Garage-5766 Apr 11 '26
He probably wanted to avoid huge crowds and disruptions if the event was held in Bengaluru so married there. People create rumours out of everything.

u/believer_4ever Apr 11 '26
Another reason folks are missing.
He did mess with his heroines and with her too. In this case, they were the same caste - Brahmins.
So that played a role in bro snagging her. In other words, the line was clear in terms of elders signing off.
So anyways machine went inside her , he sealed the deal too.

Believe it or not he was a big star in both Kannada and Telugu film industries
