Past: Four years ago, Michael, disguised as a fisherman named Kaala, acts as Veerayya's friend and confidant.

The newly appointed ACP Vikram Sagar, also Veerayya's half-brother, arrives in Vizag and begins a crackdown on the drug syndicate.

During their childhood, Veerayya, who suffers from vertigo, accidentally let Vikram fall from a tree since the brothers grew up separately.

Present: Veerayya sets up Michael against his drug partner Velappan Karuppan by blowing up his base of operations.
