'''''Tulasi''''' is a 2007 Indian [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language [[action film]], produced by [[Daggubati Suresh Babu|D.Suresh Babu]] on [[Suresh Productions]] banner and directed by [[Boyapati Srinu]].

==Plot==
Parvataneni Tulasi Ram ([[Venkatesh (actor)|Venkatesh]]) is a native of Rayalaseema. As his region is well known for factional feuds, his father Dasaratha Ramayya ([[Vijayakumar (Tamil actor)|Vijaykumar]]) keeps him away in Hyderabad, gets him educated, and makes him an architect. Once, he comes across Vasundhara ([[Nayantara]]) and later marries her. When Vasu turns pregnant, Tulasi takes her to their native place. Tulasi turns violent when a rival faction pushes his father. Later, the factional feuds continue to haunt him. When Vasu's brother Harsha ([[Sivaji (Telugu actor)|Sivaji]]) dies in the attack by factionists, Vasu could not digest the violence and deserts Tulasi with their son Harsha (Atulith). Later, Tulasi comes to know that Harsha has a blood clot in his brain, and it may cause a hemorrhage. With the help of Dr. Surekha ([[Ramya Krishnan]]), Tulasi summons specialists from abroad to get Harsha operated. When everything is ready for the surgery, a gangster ([[Ashish Vidyarthi]]) takes away the boy as both of his sons ([[Subbaraju]] and [[Riyaz Khan]]) were killed by Tulasi. In the climax, Tulasi kills the gangster to save his son's life. The film ends with Vasu reuniting with Tulasi.
