Sri Krishna Leela (transl. The Play of Lord Krishna) is a 1977 Indian Tamil-language Hindu mythological film, written and directed by A. P. Nagarajan. The film was produced by R. M. Subramaniam, with music from S. V. Venkatraman. Sivakumar starred in the title role with Jayalalitha, Srividya, Nagesh, R. S. Manohar taking supporting roles. This also marked Jayalalithaa's last film during the 70s era. The film failed at box-office which led Sivakumar to take a decision of not portraying godly roles ever again.
