King release on 2008 , an action comedy film in Telugu directed by Sreenu Vaitla. Starring in the movie are Mamta Mohandas, Srihari, Trisha, and Nagarjuna Akkineni. Music for the movie was composed by Devi Sri Prasad. It became a commercial success and was largely well-reviewed.
King is a member of a royal family, having inherited his father Raja Ravi Chandra Varma’s wealth and legacy. King has three married sisters from his late father, a mother, a maternal uncle, and a younger brother named Ajay.
Appaji, Kona Venkat, and Gopi Mohan are their husbands. The workers’ money is pilfered by the uncles. They present Chandu, the worker, as the one who is in charge. King accepts and dismisses Chandu. King realized all of a sudden that the uncles had hidden the money in their room. His aunts made him say nothing.
King is being pursued by this mysterious guy before he leaves the airport. A few days later, King and Swapna are talking next to a cemetery about something.
King is shot by the same eerie guy from the airport, but he misses. As King pursues the gunman to the cemetery, he abruptly vanishes. Munna picks up King’s mobile. Munna is informed by King that he is in a cemetery. King replies that he is fine when Munna asks.
Unfortunately, King is shot by Swapna from behind. When he sees her face, he realizes that she is assisting the shooter. Swapna reshoots King, and King is presumed dead. Munna reports that King vanished to the police.
When the police take Munna to a hospital morgue, at least a day later, they find a dead body that resembles King. Munna tells the police that none of the corpses are King’s body. Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan accuse Appaji of being the one who killed King. Appaji escapes, so it is assumed that he is culpable.
The arrival of gangster Bottu Seenu, who develops feelings for singer Sravani, adds another plot point. To win Sravani over, he pretends to be Sarath, a software engineer, since she is not fond of wastrels like Bottu Seenu. The real Sarath meets Bottu Seenu.
Bottu Seenu’s love for Sravani would make his older brother Gnaneswar angry. Gnaneswar knows Bottu Seenu. Wearing a tie, shirt, and pants, Bottu Seenu poses as Sarath. Gnaneswar is also duped. By accident, Bottu Seenu is imposed on a police officer by the real Sarath. The policeman gives Sarath a hilariously brutal beating after mistaking him for Bottu Seenu.
Because Appaji believes King is still alive, he sends goons to hunt him down. When they encounter Bottu Seenu, he beats them. Bottu Seenu is asked to pretend to be King and return to the palace by Appaji, who is making a business offer. Appaji attempted to flee after Munna told King’s family that King had vanished, but Munna grabbed him. Munna gave Appaji the picture of the King’s corpse along with the time and date. Appaji was not involved in the assassination of King.
Appaji can pay back his debts since he borrowed a lot of money from goons once Bottu Seenu gains access to King’s bank accounts. Once more, Sravani and Gnaneswar misidentify Bottu Seenu as Sharath. They go with Bottu Seenu to the palace.
First twist: Bhagath Seth hired both Swapna and the mysterious shooter, who turns out to be Baba. Swapna is actually Pooja, but Chandu committed suicide because no one thought he hadn’t stolen the money.
Bhagath appoints Pooja to murder Ajay, the brother of King. Ajay invites Pooja, his girlfriend, to his house. Pooja is suddenly attacked by Bottu Seenu, but he is unaware of what transpired until a few seconds later. Gnaneshwar thinks the King’s spirit arrived to subjugate Bottu Seenu and exact revenge.
Bottu Seenu and Sravani become engaged. Pooja is aware that the King does not currently reside in the palace. Bhagath employs a number of men, including Baba, to disguise themselves in black, kill Ajay and King’s impostor during the night in the court. Bhagath Seth believes that Pooja and other girls are not someone he should trust. Bottu Seenu, under the influence of King’s spirit, rescues Ajay from Pooja.
Baba, who is also Chandu’s daughter, reveals his motivation for plotting to kill Swapna when Munna manages to capture him. Pooja revealed what had transpired that day without killing King. Munna’s people were the father and friends who looked after Bottu Seenu. The true name of Munna is Bottu Seenu. King declares that Ajay cannot be forgiven for his error.
King makes the decision to go because his family is depressed. He perishes in an explosion that occurs in his vehicle. King’s mother disappears and requests that no one search for her. Most likely, everyone else is still upset with Ajay. The fact that King is still alive is the fourth twist.
He only tells Shravani about his scheme: King asks Bhagath’s goon, who abducted Ajay at the start of the film, to inform him of Bhagath’s sinister schemes. Munna drove King to the hospital following his shooting. Their fake details prevented them from locating Swapna.
He chose to take on this dual role drama. The shooter is also employed by Bhagath, according to the henchman/King’s informant, but he is unable to locate any information regarding Swapna.
None of his uncles were involved when King saw them again. King understood that Ajay was in charge of everything. Following his escape, King’s informant detonated King’s vehicle. This was also King’s scheme. Bhagath’s car is also bombed by the informant, so King calls Bhagath just before he passes away. In public, King assumes the persona of Sarath.
The last twist: In the King’s palace, lights were turned out and tables were pulled with rope by Bottu Seenu/Munna’s father and friends. They staged it to appear as though King’s ghost had come to exact revenge.
