Karthik Hits - Raajaa Raajaathi Raajan

This is a superhit song from the movie Agninakshatram starring Karthik, Prabhu, Amala, Nirosha and others. The movie was directed by Maniratnam and the music composed by Illayaraja. The movie had been cinematographed by P C Sriram who till date is Maniratnam's friend (as mentioned my Maniratnam himself in a recent interview). The lighting and processing technique used in this movie is supposed to be unique. But honestly it is difficult to watch the movie with all these lights coming from the wrong(?) angles! there is another unique thing about this song. The young boy who is dancing in the front row in a white shirt to the left of Karthik is none other than Prabhu Deva himself! this is the first screen appearance for Prabu Deva!
