Primarily shot in Telugu and Hindi, the film is a sequel to Rakta Charitra, which released two months earlier.

[1] Vivek Oberoi, Sudeepa, Shatrughan Sinha and Radhika Apte among several others reprise their roles from the previous film while also featuring Suriya and Priyamani.

The first half-hour is a recap of part I, such as the events of how Pratap Ravi (Vivek Oberoi) takes revenge for the murder of his father and brother, as well as how he comes to power.

Surya informs his wife Bhavani (Priyamani) that he missed the chance of killing Pratap Ravi.

Shivaji Rao (Shatrughan Sinha) asks Pratap Ravi to stop this vengeance, but the latter insists on killing Surya.

He finds Bhavani and demands Surya to surrender or else he would harm his wife and baby son Arya.

The flashback shows that after Pratap Ravi's attempt to kill Narasimha Reddy (Raja Krishnamoorthy), Surya's brother wants to take revenge.

Surya, on the other hand, does not want to take revenge straight away and tells him to be patient and to leave the matter as it is, as he does not want to put his mother and sister in any danger.

Mohan Prasad comes to meet Surya in jail and justifies why Pratap Ravi became a factionist: it was the circumstances that made him do so.
