Kannada film industry's veteran actor Dr. Vishnuvardhan is one of the twenty odd celebrities recommended by the state government for the Padma awards, it has been reliably learnt.

Though Dr. Vishnu had deserved the award much earlier and his name has been recommended even earlier, the Central Government had not considered him for the award. But now the Kumara Swamy government has strongly recommended his name, sources close to the Chief Minister's secretariat said.

Ms. Vidyadhare, social worker who is working for the HIV positive patients has also been recommended for the award. .
