A former movie extra tells the story of how he became a smuggler and vigilante hero.
Abhinay (Nithiin) is a junior artiste waiting for a miracle to become a hero. He meets Likitha (Sreeleela), a wealthy woman, falls in love with her, and becomes the CEO of her company. Finally, he gets a chance to be a hero, but things take a different turn.
Abhinay alias Abhi, a new recruit in the gang of Selvamani, a drug lord and music freak, narrates his past to Selvamani. Abhi, a junior artist with aspirations of becoming a mainstream actor in Telugu cinema, lives in Hyderabad with his parents Somsasekharam and Usha. Abhi meets Likitha, a businesswoman, and they both begin to fall for each other. Abhi gets a job at her company, but Abhi soon resigns from the job after he gets a chance to act as the lead role in a film directed by his friend Rakesh. Somashekaram kicks him out of the house after learning about his resignation. However, Rakesh changes his mind and removes Abhi from the film.
Abhi gets heartbroken and goes to a restaurant for a drink, where he gets into a fight with some goons and thrashes Loki, the brother of a dreaded gangster Nero. Abhi gets surprised that Nero is the name of the antagonist in Rakesh's script. Additionally, Abhi also learns that all the occurring events are based on the script. Abhi assumes that this is all God's will so that he doesn't act in the film and he follows the written script and recreates it in real life. After that, Abhi confronts Nero as SI Sai "Saitan" Nath (the main protagonist of the script) and challenges Nero to defeat him. After knowing the facts, Nero confronts Abhi and burns the script.
After that, Abhi makes a pact with Nero to raise him as the protagonist against him and Nero can later kill him to sustain his power. As per the plan, Sai stops the crimes of Nero, which results in a fierce confrontation. Meanwhile, Likitha, Somasekharam and Usha arrives to meet Abhi, assuming that he is in a film shooting. After observing the true situation, they decided to act in front of the villagers as Likitha's parents, who made Abhi act like an orphan. The villagers take the initiative to fix the marriage of Abhi and Likitha. Later, Nero pulls IG Vijay Chakravarthy into the issue, but Vijay, after believing the facts, stands by Abhi and adds more fuel to the fire.
In a final confrontation, Nero stabs Abhi and sends his real identity to Vijay to declare him a cop to save their reputation. However, Abhi manages to survive and tells Nero that the last confrontation and tells that Nero's death is the film's ending. Abhi kills Nero in front of Vijay, but Vijay manages the situation and gives Abhi a new identity to catch Selvamani. After narrating his past, Abhi arrests Selvamani, who leaves his revenge on Abhi because of his admiration for his performance. Later, Vijay assigns a new task for Abhi to capture an international gangster.
