Rambo Rajkumar

Rambo Rajkumar, born Rajkumar (21 October 1956 – 26 April 2009), was an Indian 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 500 films in all Indian languages and is known for his close association with actor Mithun Chakraborty. His posthumous release were the films 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. Top stunt masters like Kanal Kannan, Stun Siva, Anal Arasu, Peter Hein, Stunt Silva, Thalapathy Dinesh, Jaguar Thangam & Ram Laxman 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 in Hyderabad, Rajkumar suffered from a heart attack and died later that day.

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.
