Dr. Rajkumar is clearly the threshold for acting, not barely in Kannada Film Industry but across the country too. The legend has aced versatile roles athwart his career, and without a predicament, if given fascinating roles of the prevailing era, he would have pulled it off with comfort.
In this article, we look at some popular and engaging contemporary films, which could have had Dr. Rajkumar in the lead role.
Baahubali
The most popular movie of Indian Cinema, Baahubali would have been perfect with Dr. Rajkumar in the lead role. Of course, Prabhas was excellent but we just can’t stop imagining our hero in this movie.
Raajakumara
The entire movie is slightly modeled based on Dr. Rajkumar’s real life and the actor’s popular movie roles. Hence, it is not surprising that he fits in here to the T.
Pink
An intense drama about a sensitive topic, Dr. Rajkumar could have easily reprised the role Mr. Amitabh Bachan in the movie ‘Pink’.
A Wednesday
The content of this movie matches the stature of Dr. Raj, and with him in the lead role, the message could have spread further.
Lucifer
A Mohanlal starrer, Lucifer offers plenty of depth to the protagonist’s role, and with several ‘mass’ moments involved, Dr. Rajkumar in Lucifer would have been a treat.
Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna
An important chapter in the history of Karnataka and India, Dr. Rajkumar could have easily sild into the role of Sangolli Rayanna.
Gandugali Kumara Rama
Released a few days after the death of Dr. Rajkumar, this movie was apparently one of the dream roles for the Superstar. A master at mythology and period-dramas, our favorite actor would have aced this role.
Prithvi
Another movie of Puneeth, Prithvi is a story of an honest government official, and Dr. Rajkumar is, obviously, the ultimate choice for such roles.
Ayyappanum Koshiyum
Imagine Dr. Rajkumar in the role of Ayyappa Nair in this Malayalam movie. The result would have definitely shaken the roof with plenty of whistle-worthy moments.
Super 30
A biopic on Anand Kumar, Rajanna’s charm, and brilliant acting skills are suitable for the role of an inspiring character of a teacher.
Bell Bottom
Rajkumar somewhat started the trend of Detective Stories in Sandalwood, and hence, we can easily imagine the legend as ‘Detective Diwakara’.
Chigurida Kanasu
We all know you would have watched this movie of Shivanna. It is not a tough job to imagine his legendary father in this film.
