. Veera Simha Reddy is the arbiter who tries to eradicate the infamous factionalism. He odds with fiend faction leader Pratap Reddy, who aims to assassinate him. Pratap Reddy tries it out a plurality of times but to no avail. Every time, Veera Simha Reddy alms his life of him when his callous wife Bhanumati always spits as he cannot avenge her past miseries, for which she holds Veera Simha Reddy accountable. Pratap Reddy ruses by mingling with his uncle, Minister Peddi Reddy, to squat in a factory owned by industrialist Rajagopal, constructed 30 years ago with the aim of Veera Simha Reddy and about to lay the foundation stone for a new factory, which prominent politicians are arriving at.

Then, they move to Jayaram, affirming that though Veera Simha Reddy has not knitted Meenakshi, they share a pure relationship, and Jayaram happily accepts.

when the brutal cabal gets down there when the battle erupts. On the verge of killing Pratap Reddy as a flabbergast, Veera Simha Reddy bars listening to Bhanumati calling him her brother, revealing that they are siblings. She implores to leave her husband when suddenly ruthlessly Pratap Reddy and Bhanumati backstab him. Jai attempts to raid, but Veera Simha Reddy stops him, saying he can repeatedly die for his sister. Before leaving his breath, Veera Simha Reddy instructs Jai to perform his final rights in his motherland. Jai carries his father's corpse to Rayalaseema and conducts the funeral between a great multitude of fanatics drowning under woe. Following, Jai questions the underlying reason for Bhanumati's animosity when Siddappa, Veera Simha Reddy's right-hand man, divulges the past. It is revealed that Bhanumati is the illicit progeny of Veera Simha Reddy's father, yet he idolizes and dedicates his life to her. Meenakshi is his cross-cousin, who has endeared him since childhood. She awaits their wedlock until the accomplishment of Bhanumati's espousal, but unfortunately, they are consummate. Their adjacent village, Musali Madugu, was in constant torment under Gangi Reddy, who was Pratap Reddy's father. Once, a child from Musali who was a victim of Gangi Reddy's atrocities approached Veera Simha Reddy to liberate them from his evil clutches. Fourth, Veera Simha Reddy charged into the village, and a fight ensued and culminated with Veera Simha Reddy

Gangi Reddy while Pratap Reddy watched helplessly. Parallelly, Bhanumati loved Siddhappa's son Shekar, when Veera Simha Reddy heartfully approves and engages them. The customary contests are held in that area where Veera Simha Reddy triumphs every year. This minute, Pratap Reddy subterfuges, delaying him when Shekar takes part in protecting Veera Simha Reddy's reputation, and he is beaten. In that furious mode, a drunkard Shekar indulged in gunfire that inadvertently killed a villager, Suri. Currently, Veera Simha Reddy upholds piety and ostracizes Shekar. As a result, he commits suicide. Spotting it, a fierce Bhanumati turns into a foe to Veera Simha Reddy, claiming all his love and affection as a hoax and pledges to seek vengeance. On that account, she spliced Pratap Reddy and commanded him not to touch her before her brother's death. A grief-stricken Veera Simha Reddy decides to renounce all comforts as a penalty and requests Meenakshi to quit his life, which she does, hiding the secret of her pregnancy. Present: Siddappa tells Jai to go back. Rajagopal switches to surrendering the factory to miscreants. Jai strikes on them all at once to perpetuate his father's ambition and challenges Pratap Reddy to enter without his aunt's background. Infuriated by this comment, Pratap Reddy smacks Bhanumati, asserting that he is the one who instigated revenge in her mind with Shekar's homicide. Knowing it, a remorseful Bhanumati collapses and walks to Jai, making him free from all bonds by killing herself. During the time of her cremation, Pratap Reddy attacks when Jai onslaughts. At last, he ceases Pratap Reddy and merges his aunt's ashes in his father's grave. Finally, the movie ends with Jai continuing his father's legacy.
