It was 2006 when ‘the’ superstar left us owing to his untimely death. Today, 13 years later all of Dr Rajkumar’s fans still miss him all the same. The humble actor rose to fame because of his iconic films and also because of his ignorance towards anything politics. He never got into any kind of controversies regarding the political scene back then. More than anything he won countless hearts after getting released from the clutches of the notorious smuggler and gangster Veerappan. He graciously avoided any blame game and also refused to draw parallels indicating any political party. A simple man loved greatly by his family and fans, the Zee Kannada Kutumba pays a tribute to this icon on what would be his 91st birthday today.
