The next, Kittu schemes, kidnaps Jhansi’s kid brother Jakki via a goon and pretends to save him. But the boy gazes at the fact when he sees Kittu giving money to the goon and apprises his sister.

Anyhow, the scene opposes when Malli attempts to molest Bhavani and is safeguarded by Kittu when she asks apology.

Ultimately, the day arrives, and Kittu declares to Chandram that he has succeeded in the mission when he asks to prove it. Hence, Kittu calls the 3 to Golkonda at different times. Here, he states the girls to sculpt their names along with his on the walls of tombs and proclaim their love. Bhavani & Jhansi accomplishes the task and moves on. In Devi’s turn, she has been shot by Bhairavaiah & Hari and she expresses her love before leaving the breath. Kittu absconds as he is incriminated and Jhansi is assigned to investigate the crime. Bhairavaiah shows the names of Bhavani, Devi, and Jhansi with Kittu on the walls as pieces of evidence when Jhani misconstrues Kittu as debauchery and runs after him.

Simultaneously, Kittu goes to Chandram to vindicate himself where he discovers Hari & Bhairavaiah as the true homicides and onslaughts on them. Jhansi lands there and Kittu escapes to Bhavani's home who hides him believing in his morality. Thenceforth, Kittu proceeds to a hospital.

Kittu used to adore a girl Swapna granddaughter of millionaire Gajapati who opposes it because of status-barrier. Swapna quits the house, nuptials Kittu who leads a delightful life and she becomes pregnant. Hari & Chandram are cousins of Swapna that aspires to grab her property. So, he ruses and assault Swapna on the road with his men. She gives birth to a mentally unstable baby girl and tragically, died because of pregnancy complications.

Production

First, only three heroines were included in the story, but later the role of Swapna was included. Divya Bharti & Meena were selected for two female roles respectively. But Bharti's death and Meena's unavailability led to the casting of Soundarya and Rambha. K. Raghavendra Rao wanted to cast Kamal Haasan for the lead role, but as it has multi heroines, Raghavendra Rao convinced himself that Jagapati Babu was suitable for the role. It was a big budget film of that time.
