The little chap) is a 1986 Indian Telugu-language comedy drama film directed by Jandhyala, starring Chiranjeevi and Suhasini, with Jaggayya and Mucherla Aruna in supporting roles.

However, Pandu gets to know that Jwala spotted a chocolate brown-coloured Maruti car parked outside the businessman's house on the day of murder.

Upon Jwala's recommendation, Nischala approaches Pandu with a case: to find her missing paternal half-brother who was nicknamed Chantabbai (younger one).

All of them fail due to several loopholes, but the results of a blood test manipulated by both makes Pandu believe that both of them are fraudsters.

One day, Pandu learns from Nischala that Chantabbai's aunt Bala has arrived in Visakhapatnam for a family function.

Realising that he is Chantabbai, Pandu recalls the hardships he faced as a child and how he was ostracized by the society for his illegitimate birth.

Pandu refuses to return to Gangadharam's place as his son, unless the share of wealth he would inherit be donated to the orphanage he runs in the city.

However, Ganapathi notices number '1' written on the sheet and starts reading the first letter of each word in the message together; they reveal an instruction to tell the kidnappers that he is not the real heir of Gangadharam.
