PR takes Kranthi into his gang and later gets impressed with his work. After some time, differences erupt between them and then it is revealed that Kranthi is the son of PR himself. What happens next forms the rest of the story.

- Few dialogues in the movie like “Cycle meedhochchi sanchalanaalu srushtinchina charitra marchipoyava leka inkevaru raranukunnava…” created a stir in film and political circles.
- NTR has undergone liposuction to lose excess fat in his body. But again there were complaints that he is too lean and pale in the movie.
