The picture
Duvvada Jagannadham is a humble Brahmin priest who runs a catering business, but he harbors a secret identity as DJ, a vigilante who executes high-profile criminals that have escaped the law. Guided by a righteous police officer, DJ targets a massive real estate scam orchestrated by the influential Royyala Naidu. While balancing his traditional family life and his violent mission, he falls in love with Pooja, the daughter of a corrupt minister. The story follows his quest to expose the scam and deliver ultimate justice to those who exploit the poor.
