Written by Chinni Krishna, it features Allu Arjun and Aditi Agarwal in their debut lead roles.

Neelakantam Naidu, a powerful factionist, has a devoted follower, Narasimha, who is ready to sacrifice his life for his master.

To protect her, they suggest taking her to the holy site of Gangotri in the Himalayas for a ritual bath (abhyangana snanam) for 15 years.

As Gangotri matures, her paternal aunt begins to impose restrictions on her interactions with Simhadri, viewing their closeness as inappropriate.

[2] For this milestone project, Raghavendra Rao selected the Himalayas, particularly Gangotri, as the location for the film’s opening shot and several pivotal scenes.

[3] By November 2002, the team returned to Hyderabad after completing an extensive schedule in North India, which included filming key scenes and two songs in locations such as Haridwar.

[6] In an audio review, Sreya Sunil of Idlebrain.com unfavourably compared the film's soundtracks to Keeravani's Hindi works but rated several songs four out of five.

[1] A critic from Sify wrote, "In spite of all this Raghavendra Rao fails to lift this adolescent love story, as there are no major twists in the plot".
