Plot
Naidu (Nagineedu) marries Suhasini who already has a son named Venkataratnam Naidu (Pawan Kalyan). Venkata likes the character of Gabbar Singh from Sholay and is fond of being called so. He becomes a daring and dashing police officer. He is posted to his hometown Kondaveedu, which is facing many troubles from Siddhappa Naidu Abhimanyu Singh, who is a goon and political leader.
While Gabbar Singh starts confronting Siddhappa, he comes across Bhagyalakshmi (Shruti Hassan) and loses his heart to her. Later, things get murky as several emotions come to the fore like jealousy, hatred and greed. Will Gabbar Singh crush the atrocities with an iron hand being a police officer? What happens to Gabbar Singh's love? What price does Gabbar Singh pay in his rivalry with Siddhappa? Answers to all these questions form the rest of story.
