At present, Bharadwaja attains the highest power corridor as a chieftain to a religious organization Viswachaitanya Gurukulapeetam.

At the same time, Inspector Sampath Kumar, the henchman of Bhupati, molests Manga, daughter of Bharadwaja's aide Srisailam. Here, Bharadwaja files a case, but the malefactor acquits with fake alibis, and by that time, Manga is pregnant. Simultaneously, Bharadwaja's elder daughter Gayatri conceives when her father-in-law, Govardhanam, warns her to return with his heir.

In prison, he is accountable for Chaitanya, a victim of Bhupati's cruelty. Before dying, he inspires and entrusts his responsibility to Kaali. Soon after his release, Bharadwaja learns the aim of Kaali when a rift arises between father & son, which makes Kaali leave the house. After that, Kaali mingles with the tribes and confronts Bhupati. In that process, he meets his love, Usha, the daughter of Bhupati's brother. After identifying the factuality, she, too, conjoins him.

Further, Kaali set rights for his sisters' families. After that, he kidnaps Narahari to uncover the truth. Exploiting it, Bhupati kills him and criminates Kaali. Eventually, he triggers Bharadwaja and makes him encounter Kaali, where he understands his son's virtue. Suddenly, Bhupati attacks them, in which Bharadwaja is seriously injured. Hence, they abscond. Accordingly, Bhupati captures Bharadwaja's daughters and slaughters the baby. Spotting it, Kaali bursts out. At last, Bharadwaja loses his patience, deviates from his path, and eliminates Bhupati.
