Nagaraj Gupta, Bangalore
"My heartly congratulation to you" for becoming kannada film industry leader. I hope you do the best things for the kannada film industry. 
Please think about the following things and do the best.
1) Clean in cinema halls 
2) Avoid non-kannada movies direct releasing 
3) Change cinema timings

Sunil, California, USA 
Amongst the crap that the kannada film industry doles out, it is only because of very
talented actors like you that there is still some respect for the kannda film industry.

Even though like your acting very much (I'm one of your great fans) Have you considered acting in 'Art' movie.

I feel that it would bring out the your best acting potential. For serious movie viewers like me, it would be a great treat.

The basic quality of a leader is tolerance and love towards all his subjects, so my humble request to you is you forgive n forget all your old fights with people like Rajendra Singh Babu and make friends with everybody in the industry. What is your honest opinion?

Raghavendra, Mysore
First n foremost, my congratulations to the most handsome, very stylish and extremely versatile actor in Indian Cinema who is known as VISHNUVARDHAN.
dear vishnu sir, my question to you is 
you are basically a very diplomatic person who has never indulged in anybody's matter unnecessarily, but as a leader you might have to take few firm decisions through which you might end up being in the good books of some person X and bad books of some person Y. Have you given a careful thought about all these minor details before accepting the position of the Leader?

Sheshu, Mysore
It is right time to select a leader for kannada film industry at time they have selected you as a leader in kannada film industry.

Ananda, Bangalore
First my congratulations to accept the lead role of SandalWood.
Do you have immediate plans for SandalWood Facelifting?
Could you create a task force of all Creative minds (No politicians) of SandalWood for its greater look in future?
Are you ready take feedback from actual kannada film fans (not just fans), creative ideas to directors, story writers, producers etc? 

Umashankar, Bangalore
What is your main plan to improve the Kannada film market (exceptionaly in U.S.A)?

Suhas, Bangalore
Mr Vishnuvardhan I have a great confidence that you will take Kannada film industry to the heights of Himalaya. All the best to stylish actor of Kannada cinema.

Mahadeva, Bangalore
Congratulations on your new leaderdship role. Kannada Film Industry was badly in need of some dynamic personality to fill this vital position and I am very confident that you are the best person. How do you plan to go about making sure of the quality of Kannada movies?

Sudheer, Hyderabad
I am your all time fan , Its really great to see  all your movies setting the heights of records . One suggestion from my side is please don’t, don’t act in remake movies, then what will be the meaning for Creativity, New ideas. It is something like to conveying neighbours that we Kannadigas won’t have any innovation, we wont come up with new ideas something like  that . Being a super star please try to avoid these kind of things . 

Vinayak Bhat, Sirsi
Neevu yaavagalu 'young and handsome'. Idu hege sadhyavagide?

Ravi N, Fremont, CA, USA
You are the best. You are an asset to Kannada Film Industry. You are a Model to all upcoming actors. My hi to your talented wife Bharati. 

You both are unbeatable talent together. Why don't you both take a constructive project like a Kannada TV Serial... what I am trying to say is why don't you both do one everlasting dream project in Kannda for Kannadigas. The whole kannadiga community is behind you. Please make a project which should be popular beyond Karnataka. like Shankar Nag.

Gururaj Bhat, Bangalore
If you get a chance to act with Dr.Rajkumar, Ambarish, Ravichandran and shivarajkumar in a small guest role would you accept it and why?

Prashanth, Singapore
How can the standard of our kannada film industry be improved? Are kannada artists lacking the talents? I strongly believe that it is only you with the support from other seniors in 
the industry, can improve the standards of our kannada films. Please help the industry.

Lokesh, Mysore
Don't fall in remake try to act in original story.

Aravind, Bangalore

Venkatesh Jagadeeshwara, Sunnyvale,CA
Being most successful Kannada actor after Dr.Raj, it is natural that you should carry on the legacy left by Dr. Raj. I am sure Kannada movie Industry will progress under your leadership. I will wish you all the success.

Offlate you have become a very matured actor from a few funny roles of 80's, but what’s so surprising is your fitness, you’r thining down and looking more smarter these days. Any secret medicene (I heard some korean??), may ur fans have the tips??

Why you not see your pictures?

Kartheek, Bangalore
Vishnuji...original and good films like Muttinahaara and Harakeya kuri are not accepted in those days but remakes like Yajamana, Diggajaru and Soorya Vamsha clicks now a days. What may be the reason? Is it star value, trend or something like that?
