This movie starts off with the assassination of Sanjeevayya (Suman (actor)), the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. His last wish is for his son, Arjun Prasad (Rana Daggubati), to become the next Chief Minister. However, Arjun's cousin Dhanunjay (Subbaraju) has his own dreams of becoming the Chief Minister. Arjun is approached by Ali (Harsha Vardhan) who has given 10 Crores to Sanjeevayya to resolve a land dispute in Ali's favour. Arjun finds about his Dad's corruption and his mom, Rajeshwari (Suhasini Maniratnam) validates it while sharing Sanjeevayya's desire for caste-less & corruption less government. Arjun's father's brother (or uncle) whom he refers to as Peddaina (Sanjeevayya's elder brother) (Kota Srinivasa Rao) tolerates corruption as long as it helps his family stay in power. Arjun decides to implement his dad's dream and enrolls Ali & News Reporter Ratna(Priya Anand) to quietly win support of his party's MLAs. Arjun bribes his way to win support from MLAs and Ministers and is elected Chief Minister. An angry Dhanunjay attempts to assassinate Arjun and is asked to resign.
