The picture
Bala Govind is a hot-blooded program director for a TV channel who gets into a violent altercation with local mafia henchmen in Hyderabad. To avoid trouble, his management sends him to the peaceful hills of Kullu Manali for a shoot. There, he meets and falls in love with Vaishali, a beautiful sannyasin (nun) living in a local ashram. Bala's life takes a dangerous turn when he discovers that Vaishali is being hunted by the same gangster from Hyderabad for her ancestral property. Bala decides to protect her at any cost, leading to a high-octane battle against the underworld.
