	The story is set against the backdrop of Rayalaseema. The film opens with Veera Reddy ~~([[Ahuti Prasad]])~~ returning from the US after a long gap with his wife and 8-year-old son, Aadi Kesava Reddy. Veera Reddy's deceased father was a well-known factionist in that area and owned a property of {{convert\|4000\|acre\|km2}}. While leaving for the US, Veera Reddy gave the responsibility of managing this land to Nagi Reddy ~~([[Rajan P. Dev]])~~. Now back in India, Veera Reddy realizes that Nagi Reddy is misusing his power. He wants to donate all his land to the 2000 families staying in that village. When Nagi Reddy ~~comes to know~~ of this charity giveaway, he attacks Veera Reddy, killing him and his wife. Veeranna ([[Chalapati Rao]]), a trusted lieutenant of Veera Reddy, takes the child Aadi and escapes to Hyderabad. After the murders, Veera Reddy's trusted people are ~~put~~ in ~~jail with a~~ prison ~~sentence of 14 years~~.		The story is set against the backdrop of Rayalaseema.

==Production==
When Vinayak was assisting director Sagar for the film ''Padutha Theeyaga'', producer Bellamkonda Suresh used to observe him. He promised him that he would give Vinayak an opportunity to prove himself. After ''Paaduthaa Theeyagaa'', He was not doing much as an assistant and thus started working on his own scripts. When Suresh offered to make a film with him, he was thrilled and narrated the story to NTR. NTR liked the subject. It was a love story. But Kodali Nani didn't like it. After a couple of days, he narrated another story that was instantly liked and taken to the sets, and that was the story of ''Aadi''. They went to Mumbai to search for a heroine. They considered Aarti Agarwal, but she had just signed on the dotted line for ''Nuvvu Naaku Nacchaav''. They also considered Ayesha Takia, but their cameraman felt that she wasn't the right choice for NTR. Seeing the Fair & Lovely ad, Vinayak felt Trisha would be an ideal choice, but his sister didn't like her. They dropped that idea, too, with a primary belief that if ladies didn't like much, then it will just not work out. While in Mumbai still, they also met Sada also there, but she'd have been so lean beside NTR, they thought, and we dropped her too. During all this, the shooting was already in progress! Thus, we had to find just someone. That's how it all happened.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.telugucinema.com/c/publish/stars/interview_vvvinayak_2008_2.php |title=Star Interviews: Interview with V.
