Plot
editPrasad, a tycoon, oversees his time-poor father's business, who always stays abroad, which perturbs him, and he craves affection. Prasad's exclusive companion is his cousin Anji. He falls for a charming girl, Subhadra, who misconstrues him as materialistic and refuses. Apco / Appala Konda, a sly, aspires for Subhadra, widening the gap between the two. Meanwhile, Prasad's father dies in a flight crash, and the business is about to go bankrupt. Just before, Prasad gets a glow that his father has secured a considerable amount in a bank, but his signature is essential to acquire it. Thus, Prasad & Anji plan to pose someone as his father. Besides, Anand Rao, a multi-millionaire, lands in the city. Once for chucklesome, he disguises himself as a fruit seller. Mistaking him for a commoner, the two express their plight when Anand Rao knows that Prasad is paying the piper because of his office staff. Hence, he accepts the play, cleverly throws Prasad out of turbulence, and triumphs over his love. After a while, Anand Rao affirms the truth when Prasad seeks to be his father forever, and he heartfully embraces him. Surprisingly, Anand Rao's wife Sarada, who discarded him, returns. Being aware of their past, Prasad & Subhadra decide to unite them, but unfortunately, clashes arise between the two as they pick each one. Exploiting it, Apco aggravates the rift and ploys to marry Subhadra. Here, Anand Rao again makes a comic play proclaiming the facts when Sarada repents. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Prasad & Subhadra.
