Dharmayya Naidu (Vijayakumar) is an underworld kingpin who lost his wife because he is uneducated. Hence, he wants to felicitate education in his Seema area by constructing schools. He realizes that the quarry he owns has good quality granite deposits. Samba (NTR Jr.) is Dharmayya Naidu's son, while Pasupathi (Prakash Raj) is Dharmayya Naidu's son-in-law. Pasupathi plays the game in such a way that Dharmayya Naidu is forced to give granite quarry as a dowry to Pasupathi's family, due to which Dharmayya Naidu's daughter (Sithara) commits suicide. When Samba comes to know the reason behind his sister's suicide, he occupies the quarry and kills Pasupathi's brothers. Pasupathi then kills everybody in Samba's house in retaliation. Samba and his nemesis Pasupathi take shelter in Kanchi and Amritsir respectively as police ban them from entering AP for a year.
