Asadhyudu ({{translation|Impossible man}}) is a 2006 Indian Telugu-language action film written and directed by Anil Krishna in his directorial debut.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5p2t4tVhOw&t=386s|title=Asadhyudu Telugu Full Movie - Director credits mentioned at 6:26|website=YouTube|date=26 January 2014 |accessdate=26 January 2014|archive-date=9 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231109002707/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5p2t4tVhOw&t=386s|url-status=live}} Produced by Vallurupalli Ramesh Babu under Maharishi Cinema banner, the film stars Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Diya, Chalapathi Rao, and Ravi Kale. Music was scored by Chakri, while Vikram Dharma choreographed the action sequences. The film follows Pardhoo, a Vizag-based college student who refuses to be a bystander while something evil is happening in front of him. Unable to tolerate injustice, he decides to fight a gang led by Hyderabad-based criminal brothers named Prakash and Thambi.

The film's script was developed by Anil Krishna while he was in Mumbai. He wanted to cast Kalyan Ram after watching a promo of his film Toli Choopulone. As Kalyan Ram was busy shooting for Athanokkade with Surender Reddy, Krishna narrated the script to various actors including Kannada film actor Puneeth Rajkumar and producer Medikonda Murali Krishna who liked the script but couldn't work on it due to date issues. It was upon his return to Hyderabad that producer Vallurupalli Ramesh Babu asked him if he were interested in narrating a story to Kalyan Ram, and the actor immediately decided to work with Krishna upon listening to the script narrated to him within one and a half hours. The film was initially titled Parthu after the protagonist, but changes were made and the title was later changed to Asadhyudu.{{cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/news/2000march20/chitchat-anilkrishna.html|title=Chitchat with Anil Krishna|website=Idlebrain.com|accessdate=15 February 2006|archive-date=6 March 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060306092840/http://idlebrain.com/news/2000march20/chitchat-anilkrishna.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.ragalahari.com/stars/interviews/296/anil-krishna-speaks-about-his-life-before-and-after-joining-the-film-industry.aspx|title=Anil Krishna speaks about his life before and after joining the film industry|website=Ragalahari.com|quote=At that time it was named Parthu, after the character in the movie.
