Members of the public can pay their respects to the late actor between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Fans of Puneeth Rajkumar, who had gathered outside Kanteerava Studio, were allowed inside to pay their respects to the late actor on Tuesday evening after the family conducted the fifth-day ritual.
“The public will be allowed to pay their respects at the actor’s tomb between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. from Wednesday, which are the official timings of the Dr. Rajkumar Foundation,” a senior police official said. The actor’s sudden death on October 20 sent shockwaves across the State and nation. He was buried on Sunday.
Actors from the Telugu and the Tamil film industries, who could not make it to the funeral, visited the Rajkumar residence in the city to offer their condolences. Telugu actor Akkineni Nagarjuna visited the family on Tuesday and consoled them. Speaking to media persons later, he said he was “shocked that Appu is no more” and he could only say “God has been unkind”.
