It stars Nagarjuna Akkineni, Sumanth, Sudhakar, Bhumika Chawla and Prathyusha, with music composed by Shiva Shankar.

Aravind (Nagarjuna Akkineni), Chandru (Sumanth) and Kimoo (Sudhakar) have been best friends since childhood.

Some brushes with the law force Aravindan and Chandru to lie low in Hyderabad for a couple of days, where they and Krishnamoorthy take up jobs as painters in a mansion under contractor Bhavani Shankar (Brahmanandam), who is Krishnamurthy's paternal uncle.

Swathi sends false letters to him in Padmini's name, making him believe that his love is reciprocated.

Aravind then reveals to her that he had accidentally killed Chandru's deaf-and-dumb younger brother (Master Abhinai) when they were children, which traumatized him so much that he never told anyone about it.

Five years later, Chandru is a Major in the Indian Army and has never returned to Aravind's home since his supposed death.

Meanwhile, Gowtham, who has been torturing Padmini and Amrita since Aravind went into the vegetative state, finds out that Chandru has returned and beats him up.

R. R. Shinde was originally chosen to direct the film but due to health problems he was replaced by Balasekaran.

Shiva Shankar later reused "Naa Pedaviki" as "Nee Malarai" for Tamil film Arputham.

A critic from The Hindu wrote that "Sumanth, in the role of Chandrakanth, proves to be a mature artiste.

Nagarjuna, comparatively, has a linear role of a flirt and then a man besotted with the beauty of Padmini.
