Before he can tackle the second, he has to set right his personal problem, a love affair that has gone sour with the heroine Simran. In the face of increasing odds he kills the lion, but another one surfaces. Once Chiranjeevi takes to the task, he realizes that it is not easy to capture the lion, with all his attempts foiled either by a lack of judgement of the lions' behavior or by the sabotage attempts of the evil duo Rami Reddy and Surya, ganja cultivator and forest officer respectively. The site engineer Simran, sensing the panic in the minds of the tribal laborers bordering on the verge of thoughts of desertion, recruits Chiranjeevi, who is the king of the jungle, to take care of the lion, and, if need be, kill it. With supersonic speed they pounce on the people and have a hearty meal. The government is building a bridge at a tribal village Adavipalli, but two man-eating lions wouldn't allow them.
