JK Enum Nanbanin Vaazhkai
2015 Tamil film directed by Cheran
JK Enum Nanbanin Vaazhkai (transl. Life of a friend named JK) is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film written and directed by Cheran, which was partially reshot in Telugu as Rajadhi Raja (transl. King of Kings). It stars Sharwanand and Nithya Menen while Prakash Raj and Santhanam play supporting roles. The film featured songs by G. V. Prakash Kumar and film scored by Siddharth Vipin.
After failing to have a theatrical release in late 2013, the Tamil version had a direct-to-video release on 6 March 2015, becoming the first venture in a new initiative launched by Cheran known as Cinema2Home (C2H). The Telugu version had been indefinitely placed on hold, but was later released theatrically on 24 June 2016, with the makers trying to profit from Sharwanand's popularity. Siddharth won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Cinematographer.

The linked authority identifier is Q6108369. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
