Thirupathi is a 2006 Indian Kannada-language action film directed by Shivamani, starring Sudeep and Pooja Kanwal with Charan Raj and Shanoor Sana in supporting roles.

The film features background score and soundtrack composed by Rajesh Ramanath and lyrics by Kaviraj, Shivamani and Krishna.

Margaret, a newly appointed District commissioner in Bangalore, has cancelled the illegal construction of a building owned by Michael Raj, a notorious don of organized crime.

Inspector Bachche Gowda, a corrupt police officer and associate of Michael Raj, frames Nikhil for Margaret's murder.

Constable Adarsh informs the Police Commissioner, Ajay Kumar of the truth and asks him to replace Gowda with an honest officer for the investigation of Margaret's murder.

Their son Akash killed the man in defense of his mother, and Bharathi left Dhanraj, telling him that she will henceforth consider herself a widow.

Dhanraj's friend Ekanath Bhavade, the Home Minister, suspends Thirupathi for mishandling Margaret's murder case and reassigns Gowda to the investigation.

Having been suspended from his role as a police officer, Thirupathi feels liberated to take justice into his own hands.

Thirupathi forces Anil to call his father and tell him that Michael Raj had kidnapped them and has threatened to kill them if they testify against Aadhi.

Thirupathi confesses that he kidnapped Anil and asks Michael Raj to release Nikhil and surrender Aadhi.

The Home Minister orders Thirupathi to arrest Michael Raj, but he can't due to lack of evidence.

He approached his friend Upendra, who had collaborated with him in Omkara, but he was busy due to scheduling conflicts, so he suggested Shivamani about Sudeep.

The soundtrack was composed by Rajesh Ramanath collaborating with Sudeep for the fifth time after Huchcha (2001), Vaalee (2001), Swathi Muthu (2003) and My Autograph (Background score only).
