Plot
Pallavi (Rakshitha), a newspaper editor, finds a mysterious, intriguing and typed love letter in a bottle in the sea shore. She is fascinated by it and shows it to her colleagues. They print it in their newspaper and get numerous responses. Pallavi, due to her personal curiosity, tries to reach Sivamani (Nagarjuna Akkineni), and he ignores her. Rajnikanth (Ali) helps Pallavi in getting close to Sivamani, and later Sivamani's past gets revealed. Sivamani is an honest cop in Visakhapatnam (Vizag). He falls in love with Vasanta (Asin Thottumkal), who aspires to become a singer. Dattu (Prakash Raj) is a mafia don, whom Sivamani troubles a lot.
Incidentally, Vasanta is distantly related to Dattu, and both of them belong to Kerala. In the course of events, Sivamani's mother (Sangeeta) gets paralyzed. Sivamani and Vasanta take her to Kerala to get the state's Ayurveda treatments. Dattu is also in Kerala, and his mission is to get his revenge by taking Vasanta away from Sivamani. Vasanta becomes mute after Dattu punctures her voice box. The rest of the story is about how Sivamani gets Vasanta back with Pallavi's help.
