Plot
NRI Krishna returns to his village with his wife and child to work for the upliftment of the village folk. However, when the family, along with his old father, is on its way home with the money, fellow villager Pothuraju (Prakash Raj) kills them and runs away with the money, leaving his wife and son behind. Pothuraju is the head of a huge empire with his friend Seshu (Ashish Vidyarthi) as his partner. He is into all kinds of nefarious activities. Enters our hero Kantri (N.T. Rama Rao Junior), who flexes his muscles, shakes his leg, and gets into Pothuraju's gang to earn money for his orphanage, where he grew up (he is orphaned at a very young age). Kantri falls in love with Varalakshmi (Hansika Motwani), who is such a lucky girl that she wins a foreign trip, house, and household gadgets for her family. An ambitious Kantri rises up pretty fast in life and meets Pothuraju in Hong Kong. Meher Ramesh takes the audience to believe that Kantri is Pothuraju's son until the twist in the tale. This movie has some stylish fights and good action sequences.
