Karthik works for Warangal politician named Tillu, but his life takes an unexpected turn after meeting Aaradhana, an aspiring sportswoman, and deciding to get closer with her. One day, Tillu gives Karthik a parcel with an instruction to keep it safe. Thinking Aaradhana’s locked house is the safest place while she’s away, he hides it there. Upon returning back, he finds that Aaradhana and her mother have been murdered. Shocked and willing to find answers, Karthik joins forces with Rana Pratap, a police officer, to find out who is behind the killings. [citation needed]
