The actor says the film by Abhishek Kapoor changed the game for him. 'Kai Po Che' was based on Chetan Bhagat's novel 'Three Mistakes of My Life'.
"The film ('Kai Po Che') definitely brought a lot of popularity for me than my previous films. The commercial success of this film worked for me, the makers promoted the film in a big way, I was there on posters and everywhere. That is how people know about me now," Rajkumar told PTI in an interview here.
"The perception has changed, the game has changed. Now I can choose the films. The reason for me to reject a film is the (bad) script and character," he added.
However, the success has not changed the way he works as an actor.
"I like to do all kind of films provided the script and the character is interesting enough. Luckily I haven't been typecast. I don't divide films on basis of parallel and mainstream cinema, for me everything is equal," he added.
