| | Kannada Cinema's Greatest Hero by Rajgopal Nidamboor |
 | | And, for Rajkumar, Kannada cinema’s first and, perhaps, its last superstar, cinematic excellence has always meant more than conviction — a worship of art, and not merely management of one’s perception of acting talent, qualities, or premise. |
 | | As one who brought fulsome, or wholesome, respectability to Kannada cinema, at a time when it was not well known outside of Karnataka State’s borders, Rajkumar, for all practical purposes, is a demi-god. |
 | | No single actor can claim to have contributed as much as this non-archetypal box-office hero, who in the course of his ‘tenure’ may have proved to be the stumbling block to many a new aspirant. |
