Plot
E. Vishwanath (Allari Naresh), commonly shortened to Vishwa, is a slick but principled criminal. He believes in "thieving from the thieves" - fooling the rich as comeuppance for their greed. One day, a mysterious woman named Jahnavi (Eesha Rebba) comes into his life with evidence of his various frauds. She asks him to pull a massive con to get revenge on three people: Makrand Rao aka "Makrandam" (Tanikella Bharani), Seshagiri (Rao Ramesh) and Bhale Babu (Posani Krishna Murali). All three became "filthy rich" by embezzling the money of the poor in their chit fund. When their accountant and her father Satyanarayana (Subhalekha Sudhakar) discovered this and threatened to expose these activities, they framed and had him imprisoned for the crime, leading to his depression and a stroke that paralysed him in the present. However, the three's greed also led to their split, and they aren't on friendly terms anymore. Upon hearing this, Vishwa not only agrees to defraud them, but also refuses payment for personal reasons. He enlists the help of his actor friend nicknamed Tellabbai (Шаблон:Translation) (Sampoornesh Babu), and using Jahnavi's experience with building cameras, the three start planning.
They first target Makrandam, who collects antiques, by convincing him to buy a chest belonging to a rich zamindar. The chest contains a fake letter that purportedly states the location of some of the zamindar's wealth. Overjoyed, Makrandam and his assistant Chikati Rao (Шаблон:Lit) (Srinivas Avasarala) buy the land from a local farmer and dig for the treasure that night. They find a chest, but see that it only contains shredded paper and a tape recorder declaring that they have been fooled. Vishwa and Tellabbai take their ladder and splash a concoction on them that makes them faint, and the next morning they are found in the pit, leading to their humiliation on live TV. However, Makrandam was able to see Vishwa's face when he dumped the solution.
Next, Vishwa goes after Seshagiri by posing as an American businessman. Seshagiri sees through his ruse, having learned about the defrauding of Makrandam, and claims that he can't be fooled. Vishwa challenges him to give a 10 crore (100 million) check to him under the condition that Seshagiri calls the bank beforehand to add extra permission requirements, which he accepts in his arrogance. The initially smug Seshagiri gets tensed over time checking if the check is deposited yet and shows his anger at work and at home. He then wakes up to discover that the check has been portrayed as a donation to charity, creating a national spectacle and leaving him no choice but to allow the check to be cashed. The ruling chief minister (Sayaji Shinde), jealous that he didn't give any money to him, cancels a contract for a 5000 crore (50 billion) hydropower project, angering Seshagiri, who decides to partner with Makrandam to figure out how to retaliate.
Finally, Vishwa gets Bhale Babu by revealing his knowledge of Bhale Babu's ambition to become Prime Minister of India as well as secret affair, and convinces him to run in the village elections while acting as his campaign manager. Their main opponent is Parvathalu (Chandra Mohan), a righteous man who decries Bhale Babu's rowdyism through his newspaper Agni. To stop Parvathalu, Vishwa and Bhale Babu force him to sell his newspaper to them and withdraw. But at a press meet for his candidacy's filing, the campaign and manifesto videos are switched with ones that show his misdeeds. During the chaos, Jahnavi hugs Vishwa, which Chikati Rao, who had secretly followed Vishwa the whole time, reports to Seshagiri and Makrandam. Chikati Rao tries to pin the switch on Vishwa, but it turns out Vishwa had seen Chikati Rao earlier and instead plants the original videos in his bag, allowing him to escape. Makrandam and Seshagiri then visit Satyanarayana's house and threaten to kill him, but they came to know that they were being recorded as Vishwa reveals how Parvathalu and some others were merely playing roles in the scam. To save themselves, they admit Satyanarayana was wronged and establish a charitable foundation in his name. Vishwa reveals that his parents were victims of the original chit fund's scam, which is why he didn't take any fees, and goes back to his life of fraud with a purpose.
