Shabdavedhi is a 2000 Kannada-language action drama film directed by S. Narayan and produced by Sri Bhargavi Arts Combines.

The film was shot locations such as K R Circle in Bangalore, Abhiman Studio on the city's outskirts, Rama Mandira in Rajajinagar, Kashmir.

[10] Rediff wrote "The storyline and its handling added to the feeling of deja vu, as it lacked both the slickness and pace that Kannada movies today have.

Perhaps director S Narayan and producer Parvathamma deliberately decided to keep to Rajakumar’s old style of films, without realising that audience tastes have changed now.

[13] In the first day of release, a technical snag in the audio system at Kapali Theatre reportedly led audience and Rajkumar's fans to ransack the place causing the owners a loss worth ₹20 lakhs.
