Dr. Rajkumar, icon of the Kannada film industry, awesome actor and an amazing human being, passed away today at about 2:00PM. Details are still sketchy but the cause is attributed to cardiac arrest.
I’m an ardent admirer of his histrionic abilities which covered such diverse roles from mythlogical characters to even James Bond type thrillers, heroic characters to negative characters… There were no limits to his talents while portraying even the most complicated roles. A good singer, who became a great singer because of his dedication and discipline in understanding the nuances of the lyrics and communicating it. His clarity of speech and pronunciation was impeccable. A front runner when it came to fight for Kannada’s cause, he was the face of a few struggles for getting Kannada it’s rightful place under the sun. If I set out to list his memorable performances, I’d have to list all his 200 odd films.
To one of my idols [and I dont have many] whom I’ve lost today, I take my hat off, bow my head and pray that his soul rest in peace…
