Plot

The film begins with the advent of Kali Yuga when depraved forces enact. So, Goddess Bhudevi issue a request to Lord Vishnu through Narada to keep his foot on her, for which Goddess Goddess Lakshmi censure. At the same time, Saptharishis helmed by Kasyapa Muni perform a Yagna where Narada arrives and questions who is the patron deity of the sacrifice. As they are not in a position to answer, the sages bequeath the responsibility to Bhrigu Maharshi who moves to test Trimurthi. After cursing Lord Siva and Brahma Bhrigu reaches Vaikunta, where he is turned a deaf ear. Enraged Bhrigu kicks Vishnu in his chest. To pacify him, Vishnu held his legs and pressed the extra eye on his foot the symbol of his egotism where the sage realized his folly and express regrets. But fuming Lakshmi quits Vaikunta, Vishnu backs her and keeps his first step on the earth at Tirumala hills, then she trembles. Thereafter, Vishnu reaches his ardent devotee Vakulamatha's ashram whom he calls a mother, and she titles him Srinivasa.

At one time, Srinivasa chases a wild elephant. In pursuit, he meets a charming girl Padmavati, the daughter of Akasa Raju and they fall in love. After initial hesitation, Aakasa Raju agrees to their knitting for which Srinivasa debts from Kubera and promises to repay only the interest till the end of Kali Yuga. Soon after the nuptial, Narada notifies the happening to Lakshmi when she confronts Vishnu. The clash between his two consorts leads Srinivasa, to turn himself into a stone. Depressed, Padmavathi also takes the stone form and Vakula Devi as a garland. Now Lakshmi shows her repentance and wants to reach the deity with a holy heart. So, she takes incarnation in a lotus flower and is reared by a Muslim King as Bibi Nanchari becomes a fine devotee of Lord Venkateswara. The act is condemned by Muslim Priests and they decree Chief Commander Uggla Khan to bar her and she is seized. At present, the Lord appears and replaces her in his heart.

Generations pass, Once a devotee Bhavaji, arrives from North India and renames the Lord as Balaji. Anyhow, he is forbidden into the temple. Therefrom, every night the god spends some time with him by playing dice. One day, Balaji loses his ornament in the bet, and Bhavaji is presented as guilty for the deed. Right now, the King conducts a test on Bhavaji by prisoning him full of sugar cane which he has to finish before dawn. During that plight, Lord Venkateswara appears in the form of an elephant and vanishes the sugar cane which makes everyone startled. Since then, he is renowned as Hathiram Bhavaji and the temple authority endorsed him. Finally, the movie ends with Hathiram Bhavaji praising the deity with Suprabhatam.
