Plot

edit

Kanna is a slacker of Guntur who passes the time hanging out with his group of friends. So, his father, Suryanarayana, decides to get him married to set him on the right path. After his engagement, Kanna falls in love with his fiancée's friend Amrutha, so he creates a mess and cancels the engagement. After a few funny incidents, Amrutha also begins to love him.

Seshu is a leading criminal lawyer who is a highly short-tempered and egotistic. One day, at a party, a tiff arises, and Kanna brutally assaults Seshu after Seshu asks Kanna and his friends to vacate the party. Since Kanna has cake cream on his face, they don't recognize him. Seshu orders his men to find out and kill him at any cost. Things become complicated daily when Seshu starts targeting Kanna and his father, Suryanarayana. The situation escalates when Kanna learns that Amrutha is Seshu's sister. The rest of the story is about how Kanna escapes from Seshu's target and succeeds in his love.
