Arya 2

Two orphans Ajay and Arya meet at an orphanage, where the psychotic Arya forcibly befriends Ajay and grows possessive about him, while Ajay despises him but pretends not to. Ajay is adopted by a rich family while Arya is left alone. Ajay grows to become a business tycoon with a software company. One day, when some rowdies trouble him, Arya enters their house and fights them off violently using medical instruments. He is arrested and Ajay gets him bailed, and soon their car meets with an accident, leading to Arya saving Ajay from falling off a bridge in exchange for a job at his company. Ajay agrees, but with a condition that Arya must reform himself. Arya undergoes a transformation and with time, earns everyone's respect at Ajay's company, including Shanti who develops a liking for him.

One day, when Geetha joins the company, both Arya and Ajay fall for her. Ajay keeps his feelings to himself but Arya constantly keeps confessing his love for Geetha. Soon, she learns of Arya's real behaviour and tries to expose him, but in vain. However, one night, she manages to emotionally blackmail Arya into exposing himself. However, when he proposes her, she, in turn, proposes Ajay to get rid of him. Ajay frames Arya for a car crash so that Geeta will actually love him. As both Geetha and Ajay express their love for each other, Arya decides to get them married. However, Geetha gets taken away by her violent family members on the day of her marriage. Her father Raji Reddy is a gang lord who wants her to marry the son of Kashi Reddy, a rival, in order to end the conflict between both gangs. Arya goes to bring Geetha and stays at her house. Arya conspires to get the marriage stopped and is asked by Raji Reddy to marry her after he fights off the rival goons and rescues Geetha following her kidnapping.

However, he helps Ajay reunite and flee with Geetha, further justifying that he married her to prevent her from marrying someone else. Back home where everyone is searching for Geetha, Arya looks at their wedding footage and in a fit of rage informs that she's at the railway station. Realizing what he has done, Arya rushes to the railway station and saves Ajay from getting killed by Raji Reddy and his men after a chase. Arya lies that Ajay was the one who informed about Geetha's location, following which he is welcomed to their house. Arya reveals to Ajay that he was the one who informed Raji Reddy as he was unable to sacrifice his wife. Later, when Arya and Geetha board the train, Ajay is taken hostage by Raji Reddy and Arya makes Kashi Reddy hold Geetha hostage to demand Ajay's freedom if he wants the freedom of his own son Subbi, whose marriage with Geetha was stalled. Arya and Subbi become friends, and the latter helps the trio escape as the rivals engage in a fight.

Arya and Shanti arrange for passports and tickets to help Ajay and Geetha flee to America, but Arya demands one friendly day with them, during which Geetha grows closer to Arya while Ajay changes their destination to Australia in order to prevent Arya from stopping them. Before they leave, Ajay spots Raji Reddy and his henchmen driving towards them. Ajay, thinking that Arya has called Raji Reddy, becomes desperate to leave. Geetha informs Ajay that she called her father, as she wanted to discuss their love matter with him, rather than let Arya take the fall for everything. Raji Reddy arrives and starts thrashing Ajay. Arya rescues him and threatens to kill Geetha so that the duo can escape. Raji Reddy tells Arya to kill her, as Arya can't kill her because he still loves Geetha. Arya threatens to kill himself in order for Geetha and Ajay to escape. Ajay tells Arya to keep holding the knife to his neck and attempts to make a run for it. Raji Reddy, seeing that Ajay hardly cares for Arya and Geetha, attempts to stab Ajay. However, Arya covers him, gets stabbed, and is hospitalized. Ajay has a change of heart seeing Arya ready to sacrifice even his own life for his friendship. In the hospital, Arya asks Ajay to press a button in the hospital equipment which causes him to suffocate as the oxygen supply stops. Arya is saved on time, but Ajay, who pressed the button without any ill-intentions, is slapped by Geetha who's now with Arya. However, Arya secretly apologizes to Ajay who then leaves with a smile.
