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 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.[1][2][3][4]
