+'''Rajendra Kumar (b. 1929)'''
+
+
+60s Hindi film star, esp. in musical romances.
+Born R.K. Tuli in Sialkot, West Punjab. Film
+début as assistant to director H.S. Rawail and
+played a small role in his Patanga. Introduced
+by Kidar Sharma in Jogan, followed by a
+leading part in Awaaz; first major starring role
+in the V. Shantaram production Toofan Aur
+Diya. Early films capitalised on his
+resemblance to Dilip Kumar. In his early
+films, he is remembered as the straight man
+who throws into relief the histrionics of the
+other actors: e.g. Mala Sinha as the betrayed
+woman in Dhool Ka Phool; the rebellious
+Sunil Dutt contesting familial authority along
+with feudal oppression in Mother India;
+Ashok Kumar as the court judge suspected of
+murder in Kanoon; the other man in the Raj
+Kapoor love triangle, Sangam; the doctor
+who treats the cancer-affected husband (Raaj
+Kumar) of his former lover Meena Kumari in
+Sridhar’s Dil Ek Mandir. However, his
+musicals in the 60s were more popular and he
+was often called ‘the Jubilee hero’ because his
+films would have a ‘jubilee’ run. In the 80s he
+launched his son Kumar Gaurav, effectively
+directing his début feature, Love Story (1981).
