What happens
Chakravyuha ( lit. 'Labyrinth') is a 1983 Kannada-language political action thriller film directed by V. Somashekhar. The film stars Ambareesh and Ambika. This film marked the entry of popular actor Mukhyamantri Chandru into films. 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 obtained an 'A' certificate without cuts from the CBFC. Upon release, It met with highly positive reviews and catapulted Ambareesh's career to greater heights and coined him with the title as "Rebel Star" for his angry-young man role.
