The Telugu version was released on March 21, 2015, while the Tamil version starring Jayam Ravi was released in 2014. In his career, Nani took on a dual duty for the first time. The Telugu version was dubbed and published in Tamil as Velan Ettuthikkum in 2018 despite having a Tamil version beforehand.
26-year-old Aravind Shivashankar (Nani) was raised in an ashram operated by Harish Chandra (Nassar).
His upbringing instills in him strong moral principles, but when he leaves his family, the crooked social structure challenges his convictions. This unsettles Aravind, who vows to take on dishonest bureaucrats in order to combat immorality.
His friend Suresh (Vennela Kishore), the lawyer Rajasekhar (Subbu Panchu), the journalist Gopi (Siva Balaji), and his fiancée Indumathi (Amala Paul) are among the people he grows close to and who join him on his crusade against corruption. They alter an image of Aravind to create the false identity of Harish Chandra, which they exploit to dupe public officials into taking bribes. 147 officials, including Indumathi’s father (Ahuti Prasad), were subsequently exposed by them.
All of the exposed officials team up, led by the MP, the judge, and Sathenapalli Savithri (Rethika Srinivas), an IAS officer, to take on Aravind and his team. They plan to use a look-alike, who fits the image and description of Harish. The look-alike is named Maya Kannan, a 42-year-old middle-aged man who does underground work for the Tamil Nadu government. He is implied to be a womanizer. The officials attempt to show that Harish is indeed a real person, in order to thwart Aravind’s plan.
Maya Kannan, in Tamil Nadu, accepts the deal with the government officials on the condition of receiving 14.7 crores from the corrupt officials.
