A remote village named Pali in Andhra Pradesh is hounded by an unknown disease, and several villagers loose their life each month. The village Tantric (Rao Ramesh) predicts that a powerful man will come to their rescue as God. He assigns his assistant Sidhappa (Shafi) the duty to find a man with such unknown supernatural power, and bring him to their village.
