Srikanth
and
Bhavana
are
playing
the
lead
in
Mahatma
directed
by
Krishnavamsi
and
produced
by
CR
Manohar
under
the
banner
of
Golden
Lion
Films.
This
is
the
100th
film
in
Srikanth"s
career.
The
title
logo
of
the
film
and
the
trailers
of
the
film
were
released
at
a
function
held
at
Filmnagar
Cultural
Centre.
Ravi
Teja
attended
the
programme
and
unveiled
the
logo.
Speaking
on
the
occasion
Krishnavamsi
said,
“I
have
never
prepared
any
story
keeping
any
artiste/hero
particular
in
view.
However,
I
have
designed
Mahatma
exclusively
for
Srikanth
as
it
is
his
100th
film.
The
character
played
by
Srikanth
is
not
just
an
ordinary
role.
No
one
else
can
do
justice
to
that
role.
He
too
has
lived
up
to
the
standards
of
my
expectations.
In
my
opinion,
this
film
is
like
dynamite.
My
guru
Sirivennela
Sitaramasastry
has
penned
a
fantastic
song
on
Mahatma
Gandhi.
I
should
mention
another
point
here
that
the
Paruchuri
brothers
have
stood
like
a
wall
behind
me
in
making
this
film.
We
are
planning
to
launch
the
film
on
September
19
and
release
the
film
before
Dasara
or
by
Gandhi
Jayanti."
Srikant
said,
“I
had
decided
some
two
years
ago
itself
to
do
my
100th
film
only
with
Krishnavamsi.
I
am
proud
to
do
this
film
in
his
direction.
Moreover,
doing
a
film
in
association
with
Paruchuri
brothers
is
another
asset." Paruchuri
brothers
sais,
“How
a
hero
who
likes
the
violence
most,
turns
towards
non-violence
is
the
subject
of
this
movie.
The
director
has
moulded
the
story
and
the
character
of
the
hero
with
utmost
precision.
We
are
confident
that
the
audiences
would
definitely
make
the
film
a
big
hit.
We
can
say,
it
is
like
an
Alluri
Sitarama
Raju
for
the
senior
artiste
Super
Star
Krishna,
and
Tagore
for
Chiranjeevi."
Charmi
is
playing
a
special
role.
