Murali (Posani Krishna Murali) and his wife Lakshmi Devi (Revathi) are a married couple deeply in love and the parents of Raja (Varun Tej). After Murali demands money from Lakshmi Devi’s parents, she separates from him. Murali then takes their son Raja and moves to Jodhpur, where they live as grifters. Meanwhile, Mouni (Disha Patani), a young woman fleeing an unwanted marriage proposal, arrives in Jodhpur. Raja and Mouni fall in love, which leads Murali to reveal the whereabouts of Parijatam to her family.
Puri was approached by C. Kalyan to direct a film for Varun Tej. The filming began in July 2015 and completed in October 2015. [6]
