==Plot== The film begins with the set of an alliance between Prince Yashovardhana & Princess Padmavati. Rudhirakshudu, a wizard, entices and abducts Padmavati and transforms her parents into fish. Plus, he commands a demon to create turbulence at the bridegroom's house, and Yashovardhana's father loses his eyesight. Ergo, he pledges to recoup his father, secure Padmavati, and start an adventurous journey. On the way, peculiar incidents occur when he relieves the curses of many and is hallowed as ''Aggi Veerudu''. Meanwhile, Padmavati absconds, but she turns into a rat as a victim of a saint's imprecation. At last, Yashovardhana shields her, retrieving his father's eyesight and in-laws into novel form by ceasing Rudhirakshudu. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Yashovardhana & Padmavati.
