Shankar Narayana (Prakash Raj) is a politician driven by idealistic values and social service. His followers are his brother (Rajiv Kanakala) and supporters (Sayaji Shinde) and Supreet. The people of Shankar's constituency elect him as an M.L.A during the political realm of late N. T. Rama Rao. Even though Shankar is an ardent follower of NTR, he does not wish to join NTR's party, and establishes his own independent political empire. Shankar's dream is to see his son as a Politician revered by people. During this time, Shankar meets with a fatal accident.
Ajay falls in love with Prashanthi (Samantha Ruth Prabhu), whom he meets in Istanbul during his operation. Prashanthi is the daughter of Ajay's boss (Nassar), a cop, who obeys commissioner (Suman) in Hyderabad city. When Ajay's dad comes out of coma, doctors advise his family that Shankar is at risk if he encounters or hears anything upsetting, disturbing or shocking. Ajay hides the shocking events surrounding his dad's accident. Ajay shifts his family to his dad's previously abandoned mansion, which is now utilized for filmmaking.
Ajay creates a dummy political set up at this mansion. In the guise of a reality television program, Ajay tricks a film actor Padmasree (Brahmanandam) by making him believe that the television show is being sponsored by film Star Nagarjuna Akkineni's television channel and that Nagarjuna wants to offer him a great deal of remuneration for Padmasree's realistic performance in the show. On the other hand, an aspiring actor Bokka (M. S. Narayana) is also tricked by Ajay. Ajay also tricks Mallesh Yadav with a real estate business deal, to exploit mallesh Yadav's criminal nexus. Ajay keeps this drama under wraps from Shankar, by making Shankar believe that Ajay is now an M.L.A revered by people fulfilling his dad's sentiments. The rest of the plot reveals the politician-criminal nexus behind Shankar's accident and the comic travails which lead Shankar to know the truth and Ajay's retaliation over Mafia don Nayak and Mallesh Yadav's Political Corruption.
S.S.Thaman has done an extrordinary job with the music in this movie. He has given some really great tunes for the movie and Srinu Vytla has done a brilliant job by picturizing the songs more beautifully. The camera work in the movie is awesome.
