Raghavendra Rajkumar (born 15 August 1965) is an Indian actor, singer and producer of Kannada cinema. He is the son of actor Dr. Rajkumar and film producer Parvathamma Rajkumar. He made his debut as a lead in the film Chiranjeevi Sudhakar (1988) before appearing in the hugely successful 1989 film Nanjundi Kalyana. He went on to star in films such as Gajapathi Garvabhanga (1989), Anukoolakkobba Ganda (1990), and Geluvina Saradaara (1996).[2] His last prominent film was Upendra's Swasthik (1998), a box office failure. He starred in Pakkadmane Hudugi (2004) before taking a fifteen year sabbatical from acting.[3] Since then he has produced television serials under Poornima Productions and films under Sri Vajreshwari Combines.[2]

His comeback film as a villain, Chillum, was dropped.[4] In 2019, when he went to act in a lead role in the movie Ammana Mane (2019), the Prime Minister of Singapore heard about it and watched the movie.[5]
