Prasadam's mother wishes to see him practice law as a profession and helps him complete his LLB course with much financial difficulty.

To settle the debts made for his education, Prasadam sells his house and farm land in his village, and leaves to the city where his uncle Dhanraj lives.

Initially apprehensive, Dhanraj asks Prasadam to gain stable employment or practice as a pleader, after which he would consider the request.

Prasadam loses hope and reluctantly attends a function on Vijaya's request, where he observes the lookalike of Ramarao, who plans to sell the jewellery he stole after murdering Narayana Rao.

By then, he had already made a call to Ramarao mimicking Narayana Rao's voice and summoned him to his residence, thus effectively framing him.
