In a very recent Kannada TV show called '' Weekend with Ramesh '' on Zee Kannada Channel , Ravishankar said that even after his very successful career in the dubbing field , he was extremely frustrated in life to fulfill his and his mothers dream of becoming a successful actor and he had to wait for as long as 25 years for that to happen . The biggest break in his career was when he portrayed the character of a criminal named " Armuga " in the 2011 mega Blockbuster hit Kannada film '' Kempe Gowda '' , with actor Sudeep . The film became so popular that Ravishankar was hence called " Kempegowda Ravishankar " or " Arumugam Ravishankar " and he grew to become a household name in Karnataka . His performance was not only widely praised by the critics , but he also bagged his dream Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor – Kannada at the 59th Filmfare Awards South . Ravi Shankar , on the TV show , continued by saying that his mother could not see his success since she had died in 2006
