Rajadhi Raja is about a Raja's fight for justice and retribution. A
rich estate owner is killed by his second wife and her brother
Aadimoolam (Radharavi). The estate owner's son Raja (Rajnikanth)
returns from the USA and learns of this. In order to bring the
culprits to book, he makes his friend Sethupati (Janakraj), a rickshaw
puller, act as Raja. But soon, Aadimoolam learns of this and kills
Sethu and frames Raja as the killer. Raja is sentenced to death. In
the same village where Raja lives, there exists his lookalike,
Chinnaraasu (Rajnikanth again), whose aim in life is to wed his
sweetheart Lakshmi (Nadia). Raja escapes from jail and meets
Chinnaraasu and makes Chinnaraasu take his place in jail. After many a
