Shakti (transl. Power) is a 2011 Indian Telugu-language fantasy action film directed by Meher Ramesh. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao Jr. alongside Ileana D'Cruz, Prabhu, Manjari Phadnis, S. P. Balasubramanyam, Vidyut Jammwal, Pooja Bedi, Jackie Shroff, Sonu Sood and Nassar. The film was produced by C. Aswani Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies. Mani Sharma composed the soundtrack.
The film follows Shakti (N. T. Rama Rao Jr.), a tourist guide who falls for Aishwarya (Ileana D'Cruz), as they evade Faqtooni's relentless pursuit of a powerful gem unknowingly carried by Aishwarya.
Shakthi was released on 1 April 2011 and opened on more than 7000 screens worldwide. It was heavily panned by critics and audiences alike, who criticised the film's screenplay for its illogical plot points and overall execution, ultimately becoming a box office disaster.
