Sri Krishna Leela (transl. The Play of Lord Krishna) is a 1977 Indian Tamil-language Hindu mythological film, written and directed by A. P. Nagarajan.[1] The film was produced by R. M. Subramaniam, with music from S. V. Venkatraman. Sivakumar starred in the title role with Jayalalithaa, Srividya, Nagesh, R. S. Manohar taking supporting roles.
