kannada actor Rajkumar is not a great actor compared to Andhra's Nagesawar rao & Tamil nadu's Sivaji ganesan, he is popular only in his state & outside his state no one recognised him. He was a identity for kannadigas who dont have any other persnality to showcase to the nation which had towering personailty's like MGR,Sivaji ganesen, NTR& ANR,Rajkapoor& Amitabh.
Rajkumar was lucky to escape from veerapan after being prisoner in his forest for 108 days.His family members & karnatka govt were running around beggin to save him.when he was released he came & said veerapan was a greatman making himself a joker.kannada actor rajkumar was responsible for bangalore losing its identitiy as a cosmopolitan city after the 1991 cauvery riots during which thousands of innocent persons were made to flee from karnataka by rajkumars fans.bangalore was never the same after that shamefull incident.
