The only mission in Stalin's (Chiranjeevi) life is to help others and make the world a better place. It turns out that he served as a Major in the Indian Army. Although a war hero, he quit the army after a rift with Lt. Col. Iqbal (Mukesh Rishi) when he transfers him to the administrative division from the battlefield as a disciplinary action. His family includes his mother (Sharada Urvashi) and sister Jhansi (Kushboo Sundar), who is not in talking terms with their mother since she got married to a Punjabi people. Stalin keeps helping a physically challenged girl named Sumati write her intermediate examination, and her suicide disturbs him. The death occurs as none of the people around her extend help.

Stalin saves the Chief Minister but gets a severe chest pain due to exertion. The reason for the chest pain is a bullet which remained in his chest, very near to his heart. Stalin sustains the bullet inj
