At 46, Kannada Powerstar Puneeth Rajkumar, passed away on October 29, 2021, due to a heart attack in a private hospital in Bengaluru. On Republic Day, the makers of James, which is Puneeth's last movie, released a special poster of the late power star from the film. 

In James, Puneeth Rajkumar will be seen on-screen one last time, making his fans and co-stars emotional. Except for Puneeth's dubbing, the shoot and production have been finished wrapped up. The makers were trying to find the right voice to dub for Puneeth's parts in James and doing the honour; his elder Shivarajkumar got into the shoes. 

In an interview, Shivarajkumar spoke about finding it hard to dub for his late brother in James. "I tried to dub for a few scenes, but it is emotionally hard for me to watch him while doing so. I am trying to dub for him, but I need to see how it will turn out and whether people will accept it,"
