The actor-turned politician is also back to the small screen, and this time he is judging a comedy reality show along with director Yogaraj Bhat and actress Rakshita Prem. Apart from this, his directorial comeback ‘Melukote Manja’ starring himself in the lead and the pretty Aindrita Ray is in the process.
