Then there was a village in coastal area. Sivudu 26 belongs to lower caste and Katyayani 23 is a chaste Brahmin. When the village head 50 (also Sadha's strict Brahmin father) played by Mantripragada Venkat Rao learns that they fell in love, he decides to hang them off because inter-caste love/marriage is a sin as per their village laws and the consequences behind previous experiences regarding inter-caste love. These two souls take a rebirth. Kathyayani is born as Uma 21, a sister of powerful politician 39. Sivudu is born as Kaasi 23, a NRI orphan who returns from Los Angeles to do a Telugu music video album. He is in search of a pristine Telugu girl and he finds Uma.
