A thug named Bittu (Sonu Sood) and a local MLA Varadarajulu (Kota Srinivasa Rao) plan to rob ₹15 billion (US$220 million) from a bank. Ravindra Narayan a.k.a. Ravi (Allu Arjun) believes in earning quick money rather than toiling like his father Narayana Moorti (Tanikella Bharani). During a chance meeting with Bittu, Ravi reveals his intention of making quick money by betting on an IPL match and discloses the location of the betting ring. However, the police raid the location and Ravi is apprehended. During interrogation, Ravi deduces that Bittu has tipped off the Police to commit a crime and attempts to convince the ACP Raja Manikyam (Rao Ramesh). Bittu successfully robs the bank and his brother Laala (Shafi) takes the money to the city's dumping yard. However, the Police catches Lala, who resists them only to be killed by Ravi. Meanwhile, Bittu goes to the dumping yard to collect the money, but is shocked as the dumping yard is burnt to ashes. Having his brother dead and the money burnt, Bittu decides to kill Ravi.
