Trouble came knocking during the 1970s as Rajendra Kumar faced stiff competition from Rajesh Khanna and many of his movies ended up being flops. Sensing trouble, Rajendra Kumar positioned himself to character roles for a few years and was offered the lead role once again in the movie Saajan Bina Suhaagan alongside Nutan (1978). The movie was a superhit at the box office and brought back Rajendra Kumar back in the game.

Rajendra Kumar was last seen on the silver screen in the movie Phool (1993) and television serial Andaz (1995). He succumbed to cancer on July 12, 1999.
