Plot

A police officer in the special branch, Bhaskar Chenmai, alias Bachi (Jagapathi Babu) one day receives a boy Habibi (Master Teja) from a courier from Dubai. Claiming that his mother had told him that Jagapati Babu is his father, the boy starts addressing him as father. The uncomfortable Bachi tries various methods to get rid of the boy, but his ways serve only to get him drawn towards the boy and become friends ultimately. Meanwhile, Bachi falls in love with Venkata Lakshmi (Neelambari), who gets annoyed at seeing the boy in Bachi's house. The former manages to convince the fuming Venkata Lakshmi that the boy is not his son and so the matter ends there, although it crops up now and then in their discussions. Meanwhile, Bachi is the chief security officer for Tatineni Koteswara Rao (Prakash Raj), the Rs 50-crore winner of the Paris lottery. But Bachi's search for the boy continues and he manages to nail the father by his name, Bachi (Pruthvi Raj) and arrests him. But is he the real villain of the piece?
