The story is set in the backdrop of Rayalaseema. The film opens with
Veera Reddy (Ahuti Prasad) returning from USA after a long gap with his
wife and 8 year-old kid Aadi Kesava Reddy. Veera Reddy's deceased father
was a well-known factionist in that area and owned a land of 4,000
acres (16 km2). While leaving for USA, Aadi Sesha Reddy gave the responsibility of managing this land to Siva Reddy (Rajan P Dev).
Now back in India, Veera Reddy realizes that Siva Reddy is misusing his
power. He wants to donate all his land to the 2000 families staying in
that village. When Siva Reddy comes to know of this charity giveaway, he
attacks Veera Reddy, killing him and his wife. Veeranna (Chalapati
Rao), a trusted lieutenant of Veera Reddy, takes the kid Aadi Kesava
Reddy and escapes to the city (Hyderabad). After the murders, Veera
Reddy's trusted people are put in jail with a prison sentence of 14
years.
