Here is some good news for fans of the late matinee idol Dr. Rajkumar. The actor’s ancestral house at Doddagajanur on the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border will soon be turned into a photo museum housing photographs of the late actor and his family. The more than a century-old, tiled-roof structure will have a rare collection of photos of the Rajkumar family, including his son-actor Puneeth— fondly called Appu, who passed away recently.
The family has taken up the restoration of this dilapidated house to fulfill Appu’s dreams. Gopal, a nephew of Dr. Rajkumar, said that Puneeth, who visited Gajanur three months before his death, was disappointed seeing the condition of the house. He told his family members to repair the house as they had an emotional connection with it.
