, and they are swapping Balaji with his junior, Usha Rani, mutually. Though Balaji refuses initially, he fears one of his courtship, Vijayalakshmi, who haunts him. At Tirupati, Usha Rani, a stubborn misandrist, resides with her foster naughty infant, Apple, the progeny of her elder sibling. She contradicts their Manager, GS Murthy, about the company's decision since having the skillset for executing the project. Plus, Apple is under a hidden threat from her vicious father for the richness. Balaji sees Usha Rani in a flash, genuinely loves her, and relinquishes his past life. Next, he gains details of her via his acolyte Subba Raju and is willing to take Usha Rani with her baby. Balaji applies an extended leave forging as an accident victim and sets foot into Usha Rani's house in the guise of a cook, Joker. Then, he learns Usha Rani, his junior, is about to quit. Apple hinders him, feeling him the solicitee befriending her. From there, Joker nears Apple and showers a blossom of fondness. Meanwhile, Balaji / Joker spots Usha Rani's intimacy with a wealthy contractor, KC Reddy, who proposed to her. Anyhow, Joker detects something is amiss about him. As a glimpse, Vijayalakhmi is chasing Balaji & Subba Raju as ''white on rice,'' and their fleeing ends hilariously. Step by step, Balaji / Joker procures credence & endearment by guarding Apple from her father, unveiling KC Reddy's nefarious shade that he is off the market, and guiding her in accomplishing the project. Now Balaji is about to take charge, and Murthy compels Usha Rani to hand over her responsibility, though she triumphed in the project. So, she walks to Balaji for aid, is startled to view Joker, misconstrues his intentions, and loathes him. Hence, Balaji forwards to Murthy and resigns, stating his credit on Usha Rani's behalf. Before leaving, Murthy realizes his pain and affectionately seeks when he divulges the totality. Enrarged Usha Rani also comes to Murthy with resignation when she comprehends Balaji's eminence via him. Forthwith, he rushes up to bar him, but it is too late. At last, surprisingly, Balaji appears as Joker at Usha Rani's house, welcoming her with a cup of tea. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Balaji & Usha Rani. .
