Tushar Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, came down to Hyderabad to unveil the music albums of Telugu film, Mahatma, a film named on the father of the nation. Tushar Gandhi launched the audio ceremony and unveiled the first album and handed over the cassettes to the celebrities who graced the event. As Mahatma is Srikanth’s 100th film, the audio launch ceremony was held today (Sep 21, 2009) in grand manner at Novotel Hotel, Hyderabad.Nagarjuna, Venkatesh, Mohan Babu, Ravi Teja, Allu Arjun, Tarun, Charmee, Allu Aravind, Brahmanandam, S S Rajamouli, Mutyala Subbaiah, Tammareddy Bharadwaja and several other bigwigs from Tollywood graced the ceremony.

Tushar Gandhi said this film rightly focuses on the importance of Gandhian values in today’s society. “I see superstars and other big celebrities but the ultimate star in India is Gandhi. I appreciate Krishnavamsi for making this socially relevant film and I wish Srikanth a great success on his 100th effort as actor,” he said.

Directed by Krishnavamsi and produced by C R Manohar, Mahatma has music by Vijay Antony. Mohan Babu in his speech recalled his film with Srikanth – Tappu Chesi Pappukoodu. “It was not a big success but I had good experiences with Srikanth. He is genuinely good person and I wish him a great success. I have been asking Krishnavamsi to give me a good character to him because one of the few directors I like to work with,” Mohan Babu complemented.

Venkatesh said Srikanth is the only actor who is friends with the entire industry. “I have great working relationship with him apart from good friendship. We worked together in three films – Kondapalli Raja, Abbaigaaru, and Sankranthi. I wish him all the best on this rare feat  of completing 100 films as actor,” Venky wished.

Allu Arjun wondered how a hero can complete 100 films in the current competent environment. “It is nice to Srikanth achieving this,” Allu said.

Rajamouli said he likes Srikanth as actor but could not able to work with him. “Regarding this film, I can only say only Krishnavamsi can dream a script like this. If directors like me offered a film on Gandhism, we would be running away of it as we don’t have guts like him to pull it off. He has always been like this. When I met him during the time of Ninne Pelladuta to assist him, he asked me to write dialogues. He has such daring attitude to ask an assistant director to pen the dialogues,” Rajamouli recalled.

Charmee, Nagarjuna, Ravi Teja, Tarun and others wished Srikanth and Krishnavamsi a great success.
