He realizes that the quarry he owns has good quality granite deposits. Samba is Dharmayya Naidu's son, while Pasupathi is Dharmayya Naidu's son-in-law. Pasupathi plays the game in such a way that Dharmayya Naidu is forced to give granite quarry as a dowry to Pasupathi's family, due to which Dharmayya Naidu's daughter kills herself. When Samba learns the reason behind his sister's suicide, he occupies the quarry and kills Pasupathi's brothers. Pasupathi then kills everybody in Samba's house in retaliation.
