The birthday bash was organised by the Kannada film industry and Ambareesh's well-wishers on Tuesday, May 29, at Palace Grounds in Bangalore.

Praising Ambareesh, Chiranjeevi said: "He has a big heart to take any number of friends. The fact that many top stars have assembled here is only to express our great friendship with Ambareesh and in appreciation of his qualitative values.
