'''Rambo Rajkumar''', born '''Rajkumar''' (21 October 1956 – 26 April 2009), was an [[India]]n stunt director and action choreographer. He was the son of T.K.Paramasivam, who himself was in the stunt department. Rajkumar was a very highly respected stunt director and has worked in more than 450 films in all Indian languages and is known for his close association with actor [[Mithun Chakraborty]]. His posthumous release were the films ''[[Aayirathil Oruvan (2010 film)|Aayirathil Oruvan]]'' and ''[[Aadukalam]]''.

Rajkumar earned the prefix 'Rambo' because of his style of realistic close combat scenes, which resembled [[Sylvester Stallone]]'s style in the movie, ''[[Rambo (film series)|Rambo]]''.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131023174507/http://www.sify.com/movies/stuntman-rambo-rajkumar-is-no-more-news-tamil-kkfsdAdbfgi.html sify.com]</ref> Top stunt masters like [[Kanal Kannan]], [[Stun Siva]], [[Peter Hein]], [[Stunt Silva]], [[Thalapathy Dinesh]], [[Jaguar Thangam]] have worked as either stuntmen or stunt assistants to him.

On 26 April 2009, while filming for ''[[Kurradu]]'' a Telugu remake of the Tamil movie ''[[Polladhavan (2007 film)|Polladhavan]]'' in Hyderabad, Rajkumar suffered from a heart attack and died later that day.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kollywoodtoday.net/news/stunt-choreographer-rambo-rajkumar-passed-away/|title = Stunt Choreographer Rambo Rajkumar passed away|date = 27 April 2009}}</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131023174507/http://www.sify.com/movies/stuntman-rambo-rajkumar-is-no-more-news-tamil-kkfsdAdbfgi.html sify.com]</ref>

Rajkumar has a son and two daughters. His eldest son Navakant Rambo Rajkumar is an associate stunt director and short film maker. His second daughter R.K Navalakshmi is a radio jockey and his youngest daughter R.K.Navadevi is a costume designer in the film industry. Both the sisters have choreographed dance sequences in director [[Anurag Kashyap]] films [[Mukkabaaz]] and [[manmarziyaan]]

A film directed by actor/director [[Prabhu deva]] starring actor [[Shahid Kapoor]] released in 2013, ''[[R... Rajkumar]]'' was first named as ''Rambo Rajkumar'' but the name was later changed owing to copyright issues.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tehelka.com/romeo-must-die/|title = [Film Review] R…Rajkumar | Tehelka}}</ref>
