'''''Sri Madvirat Veerabrahmendra Swami Charitra''''' is a 1984 Indian Telugu-language [[biographical film]], based on life of [[Pothuluri Veerabrahmam]], produced and directed by [[N. T. Rama Rao]] under his [[Ramakrishna Cine Studios]] banner. N. T. Rama Rao portrayed the characters of [[Gautama Buddha]], [[Vemana]], [[Ramanuja]], [[Adi Shankara]] along with the title role. It stars [[Nandamuri Balakrishna]], [[Rati Agnihotri]] and [[Kanchana (actress)|Kanchana]] with music composed by [[Susarla Dakshinamurthi]]. Actually, shooting of the film was completed by 1981, but the release got delayed due to objection from the censor board asking to delete a few scenes from the movie, to which NTR did not agree and immediately took the matter to court and finally got it released in November 1984.

==Plot==
The story is based on the life of [[Pothuluri Veerabrahmam]] ([[N. T. Rama Rao]]), a well-known saint and astrologer of the 17th century. A brief life of Gautama Buddha, Ramanuja, Adi Shankara and Vemana (all essayed by NTR) are shown at the beginning of the film.
