So, he ostracizes him with a maid, Gauri, and falsifies his death. Ranjith is honored with the Gold Medal as Kondaveeti Simham. The couple is blessed with another Ravi, who becomes a spoiled brat when Ranjith sends him to a juvenile home without knowing Annapurna. Next, Ranjith gallantly seizes a virulent gangster, Nagaraju, who pledges to demolish his clan.
