billion or US$280 million in 2020) after she becomes a major at the age of 21. The

with anonymity. Prasad works as a bank accountant at 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. The
