Raja Nanna Raja (Kannada: ರಾಜ ನನ್ನ ರಾಜ) is a 1976 Kannada romance film directed by A. V. Sheshagiri Rao and produced by A. L. Abbaiah Naidu. The film starred Rajkumar, Aarathi and Chandrashekar in the lead roles. The songs composed by G. K. Venkatesh were received extremely well and considered as evergreen hits.
The film deals with the reincarnation as main subject with the lead actors romancing in both the incarnations. The film was a huge success at the box-office after its release. In an episode in Weekend with Ramesh , S. P. Balasubrahmanyam had revealed that Ilaiyaraaja was working under G. K. Venkatesh as a guitar player for this movie.
K. V. Vijayendra Prasad , father of S. S. Rajamouli and the storywriter of Magadheera had revealed that he was inspired by this movie while writing the story for Magadheera.
G. K. Venkatesh composed the soundtrack and the lyrics were written by Chi. Udaya Shankar. The album consists of five soundtracks. The song Thanuvu Manavu had another video version which was deleted from the movie. However, the version was used in Kashinath's 1989 movie Preyasi Preethisu (at the 12th minute).
