Apart from theatre, Gubbi Veeranna has also produced films and acted in them as well. In 1955, he was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for acting, given by the Sangeet Natak Akademi, India's National Academy of Music, Dance & Drama, and the highest Indian recognition given to practising artists.
