The picture
Simhadri is a loyal and beloved servant in an aristocratic family, particularly close to the granddaughter Indu. However, his past is shrouded in mystery. It is eventually revealed that Simhadri led a double life in Kerala as a powerful and feared vigilante known as 'Singamalai.' He had moved to Kerala to protect a displaced group of people from a dangerous underworld don named Bhai Saab. The narrative weaves between his current identity and his legendary past, culminating in a violent struggle to ensure the safety of those he loves.
