Actor Mukul Dev paid tribute to deceased actress Aarthi Agarwal during the launch of the first look of his upcoming movie "Operation Green Hunt" here.
The Bharath Parepally directorial, a Telugu film based on the Naxalite movement, is the last movie of Aarthi, who passed away earlier this month.
"We were colleagues and we were good friends. More than missing, I am feeling bad for her. She had a very untimely death and I feel bad about it. So, we are releasing this film in her memory," Mukul said on Monday.
"Aarthi was quite attached to the film. She wanted it to get released as the subject involved is controversial," added the actor.
