Plot
Chinna (Sumanth) is born in jail to a mother who dies during childbirth. The jailer Pashupati (Chandra Mohan) feels sorry for Chinna and adopts him. He brings up Chinna along with his son Sanjay (Rajiv Kanakala) and daughter. However, Pashupati's father never acknowledges Chinna since he was born to a prisoner. In an ensuing episode, Chinna kills Pashupati's brother and is jailed. Upon release, Pashupati and his family tell Chinna to stay away from them. Chinna moves into a rough neighborhood that happens to be under the control of the local mafia. He overpowers the mafia and becomes a protector for the local people. Anjali (Charmy Kaur), a clerk in the police commissioner's office, enters as a co-tenant into Chinna's house. She falls in love with Chinna. However, she mistakenly assumes that Chinna is a soft-natured guy and is unaware of his reputation and murderous past. Their relationship breaks when Anjali finally discovers the truth about Chinna. How do they get back together? Why did Chinna kill Pashupati's brother? Will Chinna become a part of Pashupati's family again? All these questions are answered towards the end, when the truth is revealed by Pashupati's wife
