Sri Krishnadevaraya (1970)
Plot
Sri Krishnadevaraya () is a 1970 Indian Kannada-language historical drama film, produced and directed by B. R. Panthulu. It stars Rajkumar as Krishnadevaraya, an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 16th century. R. Nagendra Rao, B. R. Panthulu, Narasimharaju and N. Bharathi appear in pivotal roles. This was Rajkumar's first color film. The film won three awards at the 1969–70 Karnataka State Film Awards: Best Actor (B. R. Panthulu), Best Actress (N. Bharathi) and Best Music Director (T. G. Lingappa). The movie saw a theatrical run of 28 weeks. When the State Government adjudged him the best actor for Thimmarasa's role, B.R. Panthulu modestly turned it down, saying the award must go to Rajkumar for the electrifying lead role. In a letter dated 23 September 1970, he cited that Rajkumar, who played Krishnadevaraya, was more deserving of the award. After this incident, the Karnataka Government started two separate category of awards - one for the lead roles and another for the supporting roles. The movie was dubbed in Telugu in 1971 as Sri Krishnadevarayalu.
