Film career edit
Raghuveer came to the Kannada film industry as a hero through Ajay Vijay back in 1991. Though he made his debut as a hero alongside Murali in Ajay Vijay, it was S. Narayan's Chaitrada Premanjali (1992), which catapulted him to success.[8] He then went on to act in Shrungara Kavya (1993).
However his subsequent films Kaaveri Theeradalli (1994), Naviloora Naidile (1995), and Thungabhadra (1995) were all box office failures and the film Kaadina Kaggathalu was removed from theaters the day that it was released.[9]
He took a hiatus from films and later returned.[9] His film Mugila Chumbana had a delayed release in 2013.[2]
Personal life edit
Raghuveer faced problems from his parents after marrying his frequent costar Sindhu and after she died, he married Gowri and stayed out of cinema as per their wishes.[9]
