Sri Krishnadevaraya is a 1970 Indian historical drama film in the Kannada language, produced and directed by B. R. Panthulu.

It stars Rajkumar as Krishnadevaraya, an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire in the 16th century.

Panthulu modestly turned it down saying the award must go to Rajkumar for the electrifying lead role.

[3] In a letter dated 23 September 1970, he cited that Rajkumar, who played Krishnadevaraya, was more eligible for the award.

[5][6] T. G. Lingappa composed the film's music and the lyrics for the soundtrack were written by K. Prabhakara Shastry and Vijaya Narasimha.
