The movie has already built a strong connection with family audiences. Its television premiere is expected to attract massive viewership. According to Gulte, this strategy could be aimed at reviving the appeal of TV premieres. If it proves successful, broadcasters might increase their investments, creating new opportunities for filmmakers.

The movie revolves around the life of Y. D. Raju, who is assigned to find Satya Akella, a multinational company’s CEO. ACP Meenakshi IPS, his ex-girlfriend, seeks his help after Satya is kidnapped from the ruling party president’s farmhouse. Chief Minister Kesava also urges Raju to take up the case. He agrees and joins forces with Meenakshi to rescue Satya.

The situation gets complicated when Raju’s wife, Bhagyalakshmi, insists on coming along. She suspects he may reconnect with Meenakshi. This leads to a series of thrilling and comical events as they work on the rescue mission.

Apart from Venkatesh Daggubati, the star cast of the film also includes Meenakshi Chaudhary and Aishwarya Rajesh.
