Plot
Chandu (Gopichand) is brought up by his uncle Krishna Rao (Chandra Mohan) in Australia. Mahalakshmi (Trisha) stays in Australia along with her uncle Pichaiah (Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam), who runs a restaurant. Chandu is fond of martial arts and he never gets a chance to exhibit them in real situations. Mahalakshmi is another martial arts freak. After a few misunderstandings, they fall in love. One day, Mahalakshmi is forced to come back to her hometown in Rayalaseema. Chandu comes in search of her. Meanwhile, Sivaiah (Sathyaraj) and his opponent Pashupati (Kota Srinivasa Rao) belong to two neighboring villages. They have longtime enmity. The crux of the movie is how Chandu and Mahalakshmi are related to Sivaiah and Pashupati respectively.[2]
