Plot summary

Naveen is a director in Telugu cinema with six back-to-back hits behind him and a wish to make a commercial film centered on a woman. When a garbage truck empties its load over his car, he finds an old container holding a film reel and watches it: a young woman is performing in the scenes, and he is captivated. He traces her to an eye doctor, Alekhya, and asks her to act in his film. Her family despises people from cinema, and she wants nothing to do with him. At an event held by her hospital, where Naveen is chief guest, a couple describe what his films meant to their son.
