The film featured Prakash Raj in his debut in Telugu. It was a huge flop at the box office. It is the remake of the 1993 Malayalam, Mithunam.

## Plot

The film begins with Krishna Murthy, a youth who aims to establish a biscuit factor Annapurna. He starts its construction on the government-allotted land for his freedom fighter father, Prakasam / Chinna, and plants the foundation stone. At the outset, he faces hurdles by suborning government officials and struggles with his disobedient family. Parallelly, a cut-throat malefactor, Gaddapalugu Chenchu Ramayah, conducts the land mafia in the city. A check is made to him after setting foot on dynamic municipal commissioner Vyjayanthi. Chenchu Ramayah shot to intimidate her, but she does not concede. Apart from this, Krishna Murthy loves his cousin Rukmini, but her father has no confidence in his success and fixes a different alliance. So, Krishna Murthy enforced the nuptial Rukmini without delay, but she cannot be tailored in her in-law's house and fails to understand her husband's post.
Meanwhile, Chenchu Ramayah imprecates to confiscate Krishna Murthy's factory. He attempts to subjugate Krishna Murthy via affluence and threat but in vain. Hence, Chenchu Ramayah intrigues by forging a fake owner. Unbeknownst to it, Vyjayanti certifies the land as illegal property and notifies Krishna Murthy when a dispute erupts. Soon, Vyjayanti admitted her mistake and barred the demolishing. Krishna Murthy is challenging Chenchu Ramayah to achieve his goal. From there, Chenchu Ramaiah exacerbates Krishna Murthy as he succumbs to him. However, he confronts it with courage, and at every level, Vyjayanti aids him. Spotting it, Rukmini suspects their relationship and questions Vyjayanti. Whereat, she slaps Rukmini and divulges regarding her younger sibling who has committed suicide as deprived by society. Since Krishna Murthy should not undertake the same destiny, she is supporting him. Listening to it, Rukmini discerns her husband's integrity. At last, Chenchu Ramayah seeks to blast the factory, but on time, Krishna Murthy rescues it and ceases him. Finally, the movie ends happily with Vyjayanti's inauguration of the Annapurna Biscuit Factory.
