Raja's (Nagarjuna) brother Chandraiah (Chandra Mohan) works as a servant under Devudu (Satyanarayana), the president of the village. Meena is the daughter of Devudu and has arguments with Raja. To take revenge on him, Meena acts as she loves him and insults him in front of the villagers. Later Raja stands as president candidate opposite Devudu and challenges him that if he wins, Raja will marry his daughter to him, but if Raja loses, he should leave the village. Raja wins as president. The rest of the movie is about whether he will marry Meena and how he will teach Devudu a lesson.
Actress Divya Bharti was selected as the initial female lead. But she declined the offer as she was working in another project of Reddy, Dharma Kshetram.
