## Storyline
The movie dates back to 2002, at a location in Uppada, a seaside town in Andhra Pradesh. Aasi aka Aashirvadam (Vaisshnav Teja) is the sone of a fisherman. He does fishing along with his father. He develops ‘feelings’ towards Bebamma (Krithi Shetty) since his childhood. There exists a class difference both in terms of value and wealth between the both. Bebamma is an upper-caste girl, and daughter of local business Tycoon Raayanam (Vijay Sethupathi), who is a barbarous person. He aspires to develop a shipping yard in the village, by clearing the locals by force. Bebamma who does her graduation yearns for love as she doesn't get it at home. She is constantly bullied by her cousin, who forces her to marry her. Her father doesn't heed her. Bebamma's mother is bedridden and paralyzed, so even she is of little help to her. Rayanam doesn’t take any action on his nephew to keep their family honor intact. For Raayanam, honor outmodes everything. When Aasi accidentally beats her cousin, she falls for him and their love story begins. Rayanam doesn’t approve of a low-caste youngster seeing his daughter. What tactics does he use to save his family's pride? How will the love-pair get their love approved? Forms the rest of the story.
