Naan Potta Savaal (transl. The challenge I laid) is 1980 Indian Tamil-language Western film directed by Puratchidasan. The film stars Rajinikanth and Reena, with M. R. Radha and M. R. R. Vasu in supporting roles. This is the first film in which the screen credits carried the title "Super Star" for Rajinikanth. It was also the last film of Radha. The film did not do well at the box office. It was simultaneously shot in Telugu as Idhe Naa Savaal, with a slightly different cast.
