The journey of Dr Vishnuvaradhan is from student in ÂNagarahavu in 1972 to ÂMaster in 2010 was recalled at the audio release cum tribute evening at Le Meredian on Sunday evening.
It was the audio release of ÂSchool Master of producer CR Manohar of Golden Lion Productions that made ÂOrata I Love YouÂ, Janumadha Gelathi in Kannada and ÂMahatma in Telugu the 100th film of actor Srikanth.
The well attended audio release function of ÂSchool Master was also evening of giving tribute to Dr Vishnuvaradhan.

CR Manohar recalled the close affinity he had with Dr Vishnuvaradhan. We remember Dr Vishnu for his discipline said SV Rajendra Singh Babu, Dr Jayamala expressed the wish of Dr Vishnuvaradhan was unity and collectivity, like my father Dr Rajakumar Dr Vishnu sir will be also in our hearts said Puneeth Rajakumar, from student to Master Dr Vishnu finished his journey said K Manju, ignorant K Shivaramu said the memorial of actor is not done anywhere like in Karnataka. The right respect for Dr Vishnu is not to release other Kannada films on the day of release of ÂSchool Master said Sa Ra Govindu, Ramesh Aravind spoke high on the capability of Dr Vishnu, actor Premkumar pointed to the fear he had to talk to such a big actor and calling him after seeing ÂSavi Savi Nenapu was something fantastic.
Jhankar Audio has brought out the CD to the market in the MP3 format. There are 40 songs in which five are from ÂSchool MasterÂ. Rest of the songs are from the hits of Dr Vishnuvaradhan films. Two songs of 'School Master' were screened on this occasion.
