Super Star is a 2002 Kannada film written by Upendra and directed by Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar, starring Upendra and Keerthi Reddy in her Kannada debut. Although originally conceived as a remake of the Hindi film Agnisakshi, the story was reworked following the Nepalese royal massacre involving King Dipendra. The film is notable for offering four alternate climaxes, which allowed viewers to choose an ending based on their own interpretation. All four endings were inspired by the character Sigaev from Anton Chekhov's 1887 short story, An Avenger.

It was dubbed into Telugu as Stupid, which was significantly more successful than the Kannada original.
