'''''Mahatma''''' ([[Telugu language|Telugu]]: మహాత్మా) is a 2009 Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu]] [[Action film#Subgenres|action drama]] film written and directed by noted director [[Krishna Vamsi]]. This film stars [[Meka Srikanth|Srikanth]] and [[Bhavana (Malayalam actress)|Bhavana]] in the lead roles. The music was composed by [[Vijay Antony]] with cinematography by [[Sharat]] and editing by [[Gautham Raju]]. The film was to release on 2 October, which was [[Gandhi Jayanti]] holiday, but due to censoring issues, the film's release was postponed a week for 9 October 2009. The film was dubbed in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] as ''Puthiya Thalapathy'' and in Hindi as ''Ek Aur Mahanayak'' in 2009.

==Plot==
Dasu ([[Meka Srikanth|Srikanth]]) is a rowdy in a basti in [[Hyderabad]]. He makes a living out of "settlement of petty issues". A young lawyer named Krishnaveni ([[Bhavana (Malayalam actress)|Bhavana]]) gets him bail in a petty case, and their acquaintance soon develops into romance after a series of events. On the other hand, a politician-cum-businesswoman ([[Jyothi (Telugu actress)|Jyothi]]) plans to set up [[special economic zone|SEZ]] in that basti that move is protested by dwellers headed by a genuine leader (Sekhar). Meanwhile, a local politician-cum-rowdy leader named Dada ([[Jaya Prakash Reddy]]) also protests against the businesswoman and seeks Rs. 200 crores if she wants to set up SEZ there. Dasu initially believes Dada as a good politician and works for him. When Dada tries to take advantage of Dasu, he realizes his fault and plans to contest against him on a newly floated Mahatma party. How Krishnavani and local theatre artistes bring a change in Dasu and make him realize the importance of [[Mahatma Gandhi]]'s ideology is a core point of the movie.
