Rajadhi Raja ({{lit|King of Kings}}) is a 1989 Tamil-language action comedy film, directed by R. Sundarrajan and written by Panchu Arunachalam. The movie was released on 4 March 1989, with music by Ilaiyaraaja. Rajinikanth played a double role in the movie. The film was successful in the box office and re-established Rajinikanth as a leader of the Kollywood box office.

Plot

A rich estate owner (Vijayakumar) is killed by his second wife (Y. Vijaya) and her brother Aadimoolam (Radharavi) for his property. The estate owner's son Raja (Rajinikanth) returns from the United States and learns of this. In order to bring the culprits to book, he makes his friend Sethupathi (Janagaraj), a rickshaw puller, act as Raja. But soon, Aadimoolam learns of this, kills Sethu and frames Raja as the killer. Raja is sentenced to death. In between, Raja loves Senkamalam (Radha), sister of an employee in his estate. In the same village where Raja lives, there exists his lookalike, Chinnaraasu (Rajinikanth again), whose aim in life is to wed his sweetheart Lakshmi (Nadia). Raja escapes from jail, meets Chinnaraasu and makes Chinnaraasu take his place in jail. After many twist and turns, Raja brings the culprits to book. At the end, Raja marries Senkamalam and Chinnarasu marries Lakshmi.

Production

Development

Sundarrajan initially planned to direct Amman Kovil Kizhakale with Rajinikanth which didn't happen. When Sundarrajan met Panchu Arunchalam who was finding plot for a new project with collaboration of Muthuraman and Rajini, he narrated the plotline of Rajathi Raja which impressed both Rajini and Arunachalam. Rajini insisted Sundarrajan to direct the film who relented after initial rejections to direct the film.[1] The film was produced under Ilaiyaraaja's home banner Pavalar Creations.

Casting

Initially, Revathi and Rubini were reported to play the two female characters in the film. Due to date clashes, Revathi's role was given to Radha and Rubini's role to Nadhiya.[2] This was the last film for Radha to act with Rajinikanth and it was the only film for Nadhiya with Rajinikanth.[3]

Radha Ravi, who portrayed one of the antagonists in the film, initially "approached the role like a serious villain". However, when he was told that his character knows Rajinikanth’s real identity, "I decided to play the character like a muff, and when I suggested the idea to director Sundarrajan, he accepted it".[3] Radha also intentionally mimicked his father M. R. Radha's voice and took inspiration from his father's character from the film Paava Mannippu.[3] Radha Ravi also said Rajinikanth wanted this scene where there will be a snake in the hand, Sundarrajan "wasn’t keen on having this as he felt it was over the top" but Rajinikanth insisted on this scene because “he liked to have a snake scene in his films for sentimental reasons”.[3]

Filming

The song "Vaa Vaa Vanji" was initially planned to shoot at Ooty but due to heavy rainfall, the crew then decided to shoot the song at Coonoor and again went back to Ooty during its non rainy day and completed the remaining shoot.[1] The filming was completed in 50 days.[1]

Soundtrack

The music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja.[4]
