Seshu is a 2002 Indian Telugu film starring Rajasekhar in the lead role, directed by his wife Jeevitha Rajasekhar.
It is a remake of the 1999 hit Tamil film Sethu, directed by Bala, which starred Vikram as the protagonist.
The film, starring Kaveri, Jyoti Lakshmi, Ganesh and Nassar in supporting roles, was released on 28 February 2002. It marks the Telugu film debut of popular Tamil film music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, son of the music composer Ilaiyaraaja.
Seshu aka Cheeya (Rajasekhar) is a rough and macho college rowdy and also The Students Union Chairman of the college, who uses violence as the only way to deal with people. He lives with his brother, a Magistrate (Nassar), and his sister-in-law, who is the only person who seems to understand him properly.
The movie opens with Seshu winning the elections to the office bearers of the college's Students Union followed by celebrations and in-campus fight between the rival candidates.
Seshu has a staple diet of yes-sir friends surrounding him. He comes across a timid girl, Abitha (Kaveri), who is the daughter of a poor temple priest, and starts to woo her. When she initially rejects him, he kidnaps her and forces her to fall in love with him.
When the girl falls in love with him, Seshu is attacked by brothel goons and ends up in a swamiji ashram with brain damage. With no memory of his past and having developed an unusual behaviour, he starts to recollect memories. At one point, he is completely back to his normal self and tries to escape by climbing over the gates. Unfortunately, he fails and ends up with serious injuries.
Whilst sleeping with his injury, Abitha makes a surprise visit. However Seshu is asleep and she leaves with this woeful memory of him. As she is about to leave the institution, he wakes up and realises that she had come to see him. As he calls out, she leaves unable to hear him.
