[3] Produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under his banner Sithara Entertainments, it features Sharwanand, Kajal Aggarwal and Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead roles.

The film follows a non-linear narrative and chronicles the rise of a gangster and powerful liquor-baron named Deva.

[4] In Spain, Sanjay is a contractor, who takes the help of an MLA from Visakhapatnam to convince a liquor baron named Deva to clear a slum area which can be used for the construction of the Vizag International Airport, so that the value of the neighboring land, which is meant for the construction and belonging to Sanjay, will increase.

In this process, Deva and his gang subsequently lock horns with another illegal liquor baron and MLA Simhachalam.

A slow shift in power takes place, as Deva bribes higher officials who were on Simhachalam’s payroll.

In retribution, Simhachalam murders Deva’s friends and orchestrates a bomb blast that kills his wife Gita, hours after she had given birth to Sahasra.

[7] The film was later dubbed and released in Hindi as Don Returns on 4 April 2021 by Goldmines Telefilms directly on their TV channel, Dhinchaak.

[8] The Times of India gave 3 out of 5 stars stating, "The kind of film that allows you to soak in its mindless beauty much before you realise it’s heading in a completely predictable direction".
