India, July 1 -- When Kannada cinema tragically lost its Power Star Puneeth Rajkumar, the hope that his fans held on to was that his brother Raghavendra Rajkumar's son Yuva Rajkumar would, more or less, fill that void. His filmography, it seemed, was being tailored to ensure that fans would not miss the Power Star that much. For starters, Yuva began his career with director Santhosh Ananddram, who delivered two hits with Puneeth and was to do a third when the latter passed away. While that self-titled film did not work for Yuva, with his next, Ekka, the expectations are of a film with the vibes of Puneeth's hit Jackie.
