Movie Plot

After a calamity, young Sivaji (Manoj Nandam) loses his parents. Parvati (Bhanupriya) adopts him as her son and nurtures him with equal affection as her biological son Ashok (Master Teja Sajja). However, Ashok feels jealous of Sivaji from the day his mother adopts Sivaji.

Parvati lives on the coast of Sri Lanka. One day a fire accident occurs on the sea coast. Ashok lies to his mother about the death of Sivaji and leaves the place with his mother.

Sivaji goes overboard and lands in Vizag. He starts an endless journey to find his mother, Paravati. On the other hand, Paravati never forgets Sivaji and arranges special rituals on the birthday of Sivaji.

A few years later

Grown-up Sivaji (Prabhas) works at Vizag port, dominated by Baji Rao (Narendra Jha), who uses refugee labour for his gain with an iron fist. Baji Rao is the younger son of a dreaded criminal, Ras Bihari (Pradeep Rawat), who operates from another Indian state.

Sivaji raises his voice against Baji Rao and kills Katraju (Supreeth), the right-hand man of Baji Rao. People now start referring to Sivaji as Chatrapathi.

Sivaji seeks protection from a local leader Appala Nayudu (Kota Srinivasa Rao), against Baji Rao. However, Appala Nayudu refuses to help Sivaji.

On the other hand, Baji Rao comes with his goons and starts killing Sivaji's closet people. Sivaji fights with the goons and finally kills Baji Rao. After killing Baji Rao, Sivaji becomes the undisputed don of Vizag. Neelu (Shriya Saran) is the love interest of Sivaji.

Twist in the story

Ras Bihari (Pradeep Rawat) learns about the killing of his brother Baji Rao and visits Vizag to kill Ras Bihari. However, he fails to harm Sivaji. On a parallel track, Ashok (Shafi) learns about Sivaji and plans to dethrone him.

Sivaji learns that Ashok is his brother and wants to meet his mother. However, Ashok presents a wrong image of Sivaji before his mother and compels Sivaji to keep his distance from his mother. Moreover, Ashok joins hands with Ras Bihari and asks him to kill Sivaji.

Sivaji secretly helps Ashok make a good business to enable his mother to live a better life. However, Ashok makes a heinous plan to kill Sivaji with the help of Ras Bihari.
