He comes to know that when planets in the sky forms a particular shape (Panchagraha Kootami), he takes the shape and gets the power of 'Panchabhoothalu' and becomes super powerful.

So, he executes the elimination through the hero, Mallikarjuna (Nagarjuna).
Trade
As the movie is a socio-fantasy movie, the movie carried good amount of expectations in audience. But the interest was killed due to its repeated postponements of the movie. Still the movie manages to do well at the box office and ended as biggest grosser in Nagarjuna's career. Even then, the movie is considered a flop as its budget surpasses its collection.
