By the time Shailu agrees to Seenu's proposal, however, the obstacle in the story comes in the form of her father PR, who is an influential political broker in Kolkata and Bengal and who wants his daughter to marry the Chief Minister's son. Because of this, he kidnaps his daughter. The second issue is that Seenu's father Krishna Rao is a modest man who wants to stay away from influential and violent people, so he asks his son to stay away from this mess and move on with his life. On the other hand, unknowingly, Seenu promises Bavuji, a local goon, to rescue a girl whom he wants his son, Arjun to marry because Bavuji has saved his father from an accident. Shockingly, Shailu turns out to be that girl, and now Seenu has to save Shailu from the clutches of Bavuji and PR and also ensure that she is not forcibly married to anyone.
