In 2009, the Jaffna Tiger Force (JTF) rule ends in Sri Lanka. Ranatunga, a labourer, discovers gold left behind by the JTF. The Sri Lankan army tries to stop him from retaining it, only to be ruthlessly killed by Ranatunga and his men. They arrive in Andhra Pradesh, India, and bribe the local police with some of the gold to become Indian citizens. Soon, Ranatunga establishes a criminal empire in and around the village of Motupalli, with the authorities fearing to take action against him. When SI Vijaya Lakshmi goes to arrest Ranatunga, his wife, Bharathi, gets her and her team molested and imprisoned in her mansion. The President of India receives a letter and a box full of severed thumbs demanding protection from Ranatunga. She sends CBI officer Sathya Moorthy to the village to investigate the case. In the present day, a mysterious unnamed passenger is on his way from Chennai, Tamil Nadu to Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh by train, but the train stops at a village in Chirala, Andhra Pradesh due to an accident ahead. He leaves his train to have a meal at a roadside eatery, where some ruffians arrive and his meal falls down. Demanding an apology, he beats them up and they reveal themselves to be the men of Ram Subba Reddy, a local politician. The passenger goes and beats Ram Subba Reddy and demands an apology; the latter threatens him and reveals that a local man named Somulu is like his brother.
