Chakravyuha (Kannada: ಚಕ್ರವ್ಯೂಹ) is a 1983 Kannada film directed by V. Somashekhar. The film stars Ambareesh and Ambika in lead roles. This film marked the entry of popular actor Mukhyamantri Chandru into films.[1] Produced by N. Veeraswamy for Eshwari Productions, this film also starred his son V. Ravichandran in a small role. Actor Tiger Prabhakar also featured in an extended cameo role.

The film, upon release, met with hugely positive reviews and catapulted actor Ambareesh's career to greater heights and coined him the title "Rebel Star" for his angry young man role.[2]

The film's huge success inspired other language industries and was subsequently remade in Bollywood as Inquilaab (1984) starring Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi and in Telugu as Mukhyamanthri.[3]
