Eminent music director Rajan of Rajan-Nagendra fame died late on Sunday at his residence in Bengaluru due to a cardiac arrest, family sources said.
According to his family members, 87-year old Rajan, who was the elder brother of Nagendra, had developed complications on Saturday and suffered a heart attack.

The brothers had good hold over Carnatic as well as Hindustani classical music.
As independent music directors, Rajan and Nagendra had debuted for the movie Sowbhagya Lakshmi, which opened a vista of opportunities for them.
The brothers ruled the southern film industry, especially Kannada and Telugu films, for over four decades starting from 1950s to the early 1990s. The music composer brothers carved a niche for themselves by giving many memorable and melodious songs.
The duo had scored music for 400-odd films in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Tulu, Hindi and Sinhala.
Condoling Rajan's death, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said, "I am deeply pained to learn about the demise of Sri Rajan. May his soul rest in eternal peace. May God give strength to the bereaved family members, relatives and fans to bear the loss."
