A highly popular and well-recognized face in the Tamil film industry, R. Sundarrajan has established himself as a household name after starting out his career in cinema as a director and was a huge name during the 1980s. He is credited with delivering several notable blockbuster films such as Payanangal Mudivathillai, Vaidehi Kathirunthal, Amman Kovil Kizhakale, Mella Thirandhathu Kadhavu, Rajadhi Raja to name a few, which still even to this date continue to be remembered by many.

Having also been seen in starring roles as a supporting actor in over 50 films, a rumor about R. Sundarrajan sprung out of nowhere claiming the veteran director turned actor's health had worsened over the past few days and that he was in a serious condition. Currently acting in the popular Tamil television serial, Kalyana Veedu, on Sun TV, the veteran actor's son, Ashok Sundarrajan has taken to his Facebook page to issue a clarification denying the baseless rumors that have cropped up while requesting fans not to spread false information unnecessarily.
