Movie Overview: Family, Fun, and National Security
The film reunites Chiranjeevi with Nayanthara (their third project together) and features a fan-favorite extended cameo.
- The Plot: Shankara Vara Prasad (Chiranjeevi) is a national security officer who has been separated from his family for six years due to his dangerous profession and ego clashes with his father-in-law. When a revengeful ex-police officer (Sudev Nair) threatens his estranged wife, Sasirekha (Nayanthara), and their children, Prasad goes undercover as a “house husband” to protect them while secretly trying to win back their affection.+1
