Rajkumar earned the prefix 'Rambo' because of his style of realistic close combat scenes, which resembled Sylvester Stallone's style in the movie, Rambo.[1] 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.[2][3]

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
