Kalyan is an industrialist whose conniving enemies first replace him with an imposter, Johnny, and then frame him for murder. But when Johnny realises Kalyan's innocence, he decides to help him.

Chiranjeevi plays the dual roles of a Mumbai-based auto driver, Johnny and an industrialist, Kalyan. Because Kalyan was interfering with the plans of the villains, led by Kota Srinivasa Rao, he is first temporarily replaced by Johnny and then framed for the murder of Kalyan's trusted employee (J. V. Somayajulu). Johnny realizes that he ruined the life of a good man and joins forces with Kalyan. They pretend to be each other in order to save Kalyan.—Soumitra
