Adavi Ramudu is a 2004 Indian Telugu-language romantic action film which was directed by B. Gopal. Prabhas and Aarti Agarwal played the lead roles. The film features a love story between a tribal youth and his childhood sweetheart. This was Prabhas' next movie immediately after the success of Varsham. Upon release, it received mostly negative reception from the critics and audience alike and was a flop at the box-office.[1] The film was later dubbed into Hindi as The Strong Man Badal in 2009. This was V. S. R. Swamy's final film as a cinematographer before his death in 2008.[2]

The Chiranjeevi-starrer Anji didn't run for long though the film took over Rs 30 crore and five years to complete. Similar was the fate of Teja's Jai, Mani Ratnam's Yuva, Mahesh Babu's Nani and Prabhas starrer Adavi Ramudu.
