Plot

Koti (Ravi Teja) is a wannabe film actor. He has only one goal in life. That is to become a film hero and to be called as ''Babu'' by the industry people. Amjad (Prakash Raj) is an auto driver. An extremely religious Muslim, Amjad is also equally patriotic about India. His younger brother Azhar has been missing for the past year.

The cops of Hyderabad arrest a dreadful ISI terrorist Masood. In a bid to get him released, the Pakistani authorities train Azhar (brother of Amjad) and send him across to Hyderabad to create riots and build communal tension. Azhar comes to Hyderabad and stays with his brother Amjad. Azhar's secret activities include devising and executing plans to release Masood.

Radha Krishna (Srikanth) is a sincere and efficient police officer. But he is very serious in nature and has enormous hatred towards Pakistan for the reasons best known to him. It is revealed in a flashback that Radha Krishna's ladylove Swathy (Sonali Bendre) was killed by ISI forces. The rest of the story includes how these three protagonists prevent the terrorist Masood from fleeing to Pakistan.
