Plot

Siddhantha (Chiranjeevi) is an honest police officer who learns that an assassin named "Spot" Nana (Rami Reddy) is assigned to kill his former mentor-turned-CM Satyendra Sharma (J. V. Somayajulu) and thwarts Nana's assassination attempts. Enraged, Nana kills Siddhantha's wife Shanti (Juhi Chawla), who was a former witness to Nana's crimes. In a last attempt to save Satyendra, Siddhantha finally kills Nana and proves Satyendra that an assassination attempt was made by lighting the torch (the torch was supposed to be lit by Satyendra), rigged with explosives. Siddhantha dies in the explosion, after requesting Satyendra to make the former's son a police officer.
