| | Rajkumar - the Kannada matinee idol |
 | | In Hassan, Rajkumar cutouts were ritualistically bathed in milk and honey - a ritual that even Hassan's most famous native, a certain H D Deve Gowda, did not qualify for when he became federal prime minister. |
 | | Interestingly, though Rajkumar's daughter is married to the son of former chief minister Sarekoppa Bangarappa, that fact did not stop the matinee star from choosing, as the subject of Jeevana Chaitra, the battle between the hero and an illicit liquor lobby. |
 | | But not so Rajkumar, who has retained not only the fans of his youth, but added to the bandwagon their sons and even grandsons, in a tribute to his ageless appeal. |
