Kannada film producer Soundarya Jagadish’s alleged death by suicide

Kannada film producer Soundarya Jagadish was found dead at his Bengaluru house after attempting suicide by hanging. He was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital. The filmmaker, aged 55, passed away on Sunday at his residence in Bengaluru’s Mahalakshmi Layout.

The reason for his extreme step is not known, and investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of his death. One of his friends stated that he had no health issues and clarified that the bank notice issue was unrelated to his suicide attempt, saying, “It has no connection with this. That issue has been there for some time now. Business issues are different.”

Several reports suggest that he was embroiled in a controversy related to a late-night club, which led to the temporary cancellation of his licence.

Jagadish had produced many popular Kannada films, including Appu Pappu, Mast Maja Maadi, Snehitaru, and Ramleela, among others.
