Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Ooty

Raja Chinna Roja is a 1989 Indian Tamil-language children's film, directed by S. P. Muthuraman, written by Panchu Arunachalam and produced by AVM Productions. The film stars Rajinikanth, Raghuvaran and Gautami. Its plot revolves around an aspiring actor who meets his childhood friend, but is forced to take care of his nieces and nephews.

Production

After the success of Manithan (1987), M. Saravanan of AVM Productions decided to produce another film with the same cast and crew: director S. P. Muthuraman, hero Rajinikanth and composer Chandrabose. Saravanan wanted to make a film "targeted at kids" due to Rajinikanth's popularity among children.

The makers decided to revolve the story around Shalini, who was cast among the child artists, due to her popularity. Raghuvaran was chosen to portray a negative role after the makers were impressed with his performance in the television series Oru Manithanin Kathai. Raja Chinna Roja was the first Indian film to feature live action with animation. It was Saravanan's wish to do this, without any budgetary constraints.
