Plot


Once upon a time, at Gandikota kingdom, its prince Jayanth spent his life frolicking over the out-turn of his spiteful cousin Pratapa Simha to clutch the kingship. Discerning it, Rajamata Hymavathi Devi announces Jayanth's crowning ceremony. Exploiting it, Pratap ploys by molding the prince into a lousy shape, a defamatory bedevil on the populace. Raja a gallant village guy, that is a doppelganger to Jayanth, hinders it. So, he has been professed as a rebel and at hand seized when Raja absconds with his beloved Radha but detached midway. After a strike, Raja lands at the fort, where the two are startled to spot each other. Hereupon, Raja makes total sense to Jayanth of upheaval when he pledges after soul-searching with tears to typify for the common good when Mahamantri arrives therein. Following, the two turn into besties, and Jayanth invites Raja also to the ceremony when Pratap ruses by poisoning Jayanth, and he gets into a coma. Hence, Mahamantri covert him, but it is a crunch. Since Jayanth loses his authority for all time as he does not reach the fort by sunrise, Mahamantri pleads Raja to deputize as Jayanth to shield his majesty & realm. Therefore, he embodies sea changes for the benefit of the civic. Plus, he faces a diehard, delicate post to secure the fidelity of Jayanth's wife, Lalitha Devi. Meanwhile, Pratap feels something fishy as per Raja's actions & attitude, finds the whereabouts of Jayanth, and snatches him at a mysterious place. Moreover, he incriminates Raja as his homicide and captures him. At last, he eludes, safeguards Jayanth, and ceases Pratap. Finally, the movie ends with Jayanth esteeming Raja's loyalty and designating him as his Chief Commander.
