The entire property is under the control of Bhavani Shankar, who wants to inherit the entire property by killing her. As he hatches the plans to eliminate Malliswari, she is sent to her uncle's in Visakhapatnam as a normal girl so that she can live with anonymity. Prasad works as a bank accountant in Andhra Bank there. He is a bachelor who has been continuously seeking for marriage alliance for the past seven years, and is growing increasingly desperate. He accidentally meets Malliswari and falls deeply in love with her. Malliswari is traced by the goons there and they start running after her. Prasad escorts her and drops her safely in Hyderabad.
