Plot
Koti (Ravi Teja) is an aspiring film actor. He wants to be called Babu. Amjad (Prakash Raj) is a driver as well as a devout Muslim and is equally patriotic about India. His younger brother Azhar has been missing for the past year.
The cops of Hyderabad arrest an ISI terrorist Masood. In a bid to get him released, Pakistani authorities train Azhar and send him to Hyderabad to incite riots and create communal tension. Azhar returns to Hyderabad and stays with his brother Amjad. His clandestine activities include devising and executing a plan to release Masood.
Radha Krishna (Srikanth) is a sincere and efficient police officer. He hates Pakistan for personal reasons. It is later revealed in a flashback that Radha Krishna's love Swathy (Sonali Bendre) was killed by ISI forces. The rest of the story revolved around how these three protagonists prevent terrorist Masood from fleeing to Pakistan.
