Raja Cheyyi Vesthe 2016

Raja Ram, [Nara Rohith], an aspiring filmmaker, believes that brains can outsmart brute force. He loves Chaitra, [Isha Talwar], an orphan with a secret motive who does not show any interest at first. One day, a producer offers to back his project, but the deal comes with conditions, including the aim to kill Manik, [Nandamuri Taraka Ratna], a gangster-turned-businessman. Raja grows suspicious of the producer and discovers that a cop and his friend Subhash are behind the letter. He then learns that Chaitra is the mastermind. Chaitra narrates her backstory: as a child, Manik killed her parents, apologized formally, and left. To avenge their deaths, her brother Chakri, [Srinivas Avasarala], tried to kill Manik but failed; Chakri is killed brutally by Manik. After hearing Chaitra’s story, Raja decides to help her and hatches a plan to kill Manik. Chaitra falls for Raja, and their bond grows as his mother begins arrangements for their wedding.

Then, at a private party, the honest SP is insulted by a minister aligned with Manik, and Manik slaps him in front of everyone. Manik spots a clue in his group photos—Chakri and Chaitra’s pictures alongside him—realizing that someone is following him. When a friend, Ravi, leaks his plan for a ransom, Manik tries to kill Ravi, but Ravi outsmarts him and escapes with the money. However, Ravi remains loyal to Raja and reveals Manik’s location. It later turns out that Ravi was actually working with Raja all along to trap Manik. Manik chases Chaitra to kill her. Raja rescues her, and a fierce fight erupts, with Raja’s friends joining in to take down Manik’s henchmen. Manik retaliates by killing his ally, a junior artist. In the final confrontation, weapons are handed over to Raja, who defeats Manik in a decisive duel. The police declare the case pending, and a twist is revealed: Raja is the son of the SP who had publicly supported him. The story closes with Raja stepping into the direction department, chasing his dream.
