Vijayanagarada Veeraputhra is a 1961 Indian Kannada-language film, directed and produced by R. Nagendra Rao. The film stars R. N. Sudarshan, B. Saroja Devi, R. Nagendra Rao and Kalyan Kumar in the lead roles. The film's musical score was composed by M. S. Viswanathan and T. K. Ramamurthy.[1][2]

Although set in the backdrop of the Vijayanagara Empire at the close of the 15th century, the movie was wholly fictional and was more in the nature of a medieval action and revenge drama with intelligent doses of conspiracy, plotting, melodrama and old-style romance thrown in.[3]
