Plot


The plot follows Anji (Chiranjeevi), who shares a deep bond with his sister Lakshmi (Ramya Krishna), and respects his guru, Swamiji (J. V. Somayajulu), whose word is considered law. Anji's childhood friend Mohan (Mohan Babu) is a police inspector. Swamiji wishes to marry Lakshmi to Mohan, but she is in love with Prem Babu. When Anji approaches Prem Babu to arrange the marriage, he mocks Anji, leading to a confrontation. Prem Babu later dies, and Anji is wrongfully accused of the murder by Mohan. Anji is arrested and imprisoned but is later released on Swamiji's request due to his deteriorating health. Swamiji urges Mohan to reform Anji, but Anji escapes and is presumed dead. He later returns as a wealthy man, now known as Chakravarthy, determined to improve the village as Swamiji wished.
As the story unfolds, Chakravarthy and Mohan cross paths again, with Mohan suspecting Chakravarthy's true identity. Eventually, they join forces to expose the real antagonist, the village president, who was responsible for the troubles in Anji's life. In the end, the two friends reconcile, with Chakravarthy marrying Rani, and Mohan marrying Lakshmi.
