Plot
Niranjan Iyer (Adith Arun), a hacker, makes a deal for confidential information worth 10 crores with an unknown person. When he confirms the deal, some goons chase him, but he escapes.
Chandrasekhar (played by Rajasekhar; alias Shekhar), an Assistant Commissioner of the NIA, and his wife Swathi (Pooja Kumar) consult a divorce lawyer. Swathi accuses her husband of neglecting her and their son and focusing only on work.
Shekhar gets into a car crash when he returns to his office. He finds a high range gun in the other car, which is rare in India, and the other car's owner escapes by shooting a gun at Shekhar. Shekhar decides to arrest the car owner, and orders his assistant to check traffic signal footages to find him. He discovers that the owner is a contract killer; he and his team interrogate the man but learn nothing, so they decide to bring him to court. The killer dies on the way and his phone receives a message, which displays three codes. When solved, the codes describe a bomb placed in Charminar set to explode at 8:00 AM. Shekhar's team learns in the investigation that the opposition leader of the state, Pratap Reddy (Posani Krishna Murali), is going on a rally against the government, and they conclude that the bomb is placed to kill Reddy.
Shekhar finds the bomb in an underhole and immediately informs the bomb squad, but they inform him that this is a remote controlled bomb and has to find the remote. Shekhar searches for the remote to no avail. After Shekhar captures a suspicious man, the latter reveals that the remote is present in a white colour van operated by terrorists. He shoots at the van with other police officers and kills them. Shekhar finds Niranjan in the crowd and arrests him.
In custody, Niranjan manages to sell the drive containing the secret information for 250 million rupees to Reddy's secretary. After arresting him, Shekhar's senior officer (Nassar) is informed by the government that Shekhar has been transferred to Nagpur. When Shekhar and Niranjan move to Nagpur, a gang attacks them, force their van into the river, and shoots at them. Shekhar saves Niranjan and leaves towards the forest. Niranjan reveals his connection with the killers.
After the success of Pokhran Fire testing in 1998, India decided to keep its uranium reserves protected from other countries for future use. The head of the Atomic Department of India hired four hackers which include Niranjan, his friend Vishal, and two other people to replace the current photos of their uranium reserves with older photos so that satellites from other countries cannot see their wealth. They successfully hacked and then left the place. However, Vishal bugged the Indian database of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and learned that a uranium mine in Andhra Pradesh has the highest amount of uranium in the country. The head of the DAE has deals with the MLA of the district and several other ministers, and the hackers were used to hack the satellites to cover up evidence of uranium smuggling. Vishal blackmailed the head of the DAE by keeping quiet in exchange for 100 million rupees, but he is killed. Niranjan took the drive and sold it to Reddy's secretary as he would expose the scandal, but Reddy made a deal with the MLA.
Shekhar kills the mercenaries sent to kill them and manages to track the location of the main criminal, George (Kishore). He and Niranjan go to George to find the data on a remote server of the DAE, but are captured. They are left tied on the remote server ship rigged with explosives to kill them. Shekhar and Niranjan manage to escape and plant the explosives on George's ship, killing the smugglers. The MLA and several other officers are arrested as the scandal is exposed.
