Kannada actor Shivaranjan Bolannavar escaped unhurt as assailants fired three rounds at him near his residence in Bailhongal and fled, police said on Wednesday.

“The actor was the target, but he is safe. A hunt is on for the assailants,” a police officer told PTI.

He said the actor had gone to visit his parents in Bailhongal on Tuesday night.

“When he was knocking on the door, the motorcycle-borne assailants appeared outside and opened fire at him, but none of the bullets hit him,” the officer said.

Shivaranjan has acted in several movies, including ‘Veera Bhadra’, ‘Bisi Rakta’, ‘Aata Hudugaata’, ‘Amrutha Sindhu’ and ‘Raja Rani’.

He earned recognition for his work in ‘Amrutha Sindhu’, in which his co-star was actress Shruthi.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
