Mister

Rahul Vadayar [Nikitin Dheer] is a sharp-witted forest smuggler whose plans for power collide with the ambitions of Gundappa Naidu [Tanikella Bharani], a schemer who hopes to topple Pichayya Naidu Sr. [Nassar], the formidable elder ruling from a village perched along the Andhra-Karnataka border. On the other side of the family drama, K. J. Rao [Anand], Pichayya Naidu’s son, is tasked with sending his grandson to India, but Chai [Varun Tej] balks at the idea and carries a deep-seated anger toward his grandfather, partly because his mother died in an accident that Pichayya Naidu is somehow tied to. Chai’s mother [Easwari Rao] watches these tensions unfold with a mix of concern and resolve, urging her son to navigate the chaos with care.

The story pivots around a mistaken airport greeting that tosses Chai into a chaotic, comic, and destiny-filled journey. He is supposed to greet his cousin Priya, but instead welcomes Meera [Hebah Patel], a radiant guest who claims to be the museum coordinator’s responsibility from Spain and who has lost her phone, leaving her with a five-day window to figure things out. Chai brings Meera home, only to realize the mix-up has happened—but the spark between them is immediate. The pair embark on a museum-hopping expedition guided by the humble museum coordinator Srinu [Srinivasa Reddy], and Meera eventually agrees to stay with Chai’s family after a few convincing moments.

As their bond grows, Chai’s mother [Easwari Rao] nudges him to confess his feelings, and Meera and Chai share a moment of quiet truth at Meera’s best friend Andy’s headstone, where Meera reveals a competing love interest: Siddharth [Prince Cecil], a man who embodies the very traits Chai admires—someone who does everything for his family. Yet Meera’s heart remains with Chai, even as she acknowledges Siddharth’s qualities. The twist arrives when Meera leaves India to go back, only to call Chai with news that Siddharth has betrayed her. This revelation spurs Chai to return to India, where his parents hint that the family should visit his grandfather, sensing that old loyalties and fresh loves will collide.

Once in India, Chai learns that Meera’s ordeal isn’t over: Meera’s brother Muthappa Gouda [Harish Uthaman] has been pressuring Siddharth’s family to bind Meera to another match, and Gouda’s henchmen are watching Meera’s home with trouble looming. Chai vows to rescue Meera, and with this purpose, the lovers escape Siddharth’s surroundings and slip away with a renewed sense of urgency. Their journey intersects with Lakshmi Tulasi [Prudhviraj], a film director whose antics and misadventures add a layer of farce to the drama, before they cross paths with Chandramukhi [Lavanya Tripathi], the daughter of Sri Veera Narasimha Rayalu [Murali Sharma], the ruler who presides over a private, quasi-government realm.

Chandramukhi’s own escape from an arranged alliance with Rahul Vadayar [Nikitin Dheer]—a connection that threads back to the same political web—brings her into Chai’s orbit. Chandramukhi’s backstory reveals she has spent years under a father’s house arrest, guided by a powerful Swamiji figure who sits at the behest of Hajarappa [Nagineedu Vellanki], Rayalu’s longtime foe. When Chandramukhi learns about Rahul’s character and the danger she faces, she flees to Bangalore seeking protection, only to be drawn back into trouble as hired goons close in. Chai saves Chandramukhi from an ambush, and a new romance blooms between them, though the two are tethered to larger family loyalties.

A playful sequence with Lakshmi Tulasi and the energetic Shakalaka Shankar-like figure adds more color as the gang presses forward toward Siddharth, who promises to return to safeguard Meera’s future. The group’s fortunes swing between hospitality at Rayalu’s palace and danger from Rayalu’s men, who treat the fugitives with a forced warmth while Meera gradually falls more firmly for Chai. Chandramukhi pleads with Chai to escape, foreseeing a ritual sacrifice that could seal her fate—and perhaps his.

On the day of what seems to be a sacrificial ritual, Bhukkaraya [Master Bharath] notices a Rudraksha-shaped mole on Chai’s back, interpreting it as a sign that Chandramukhi’s life is bound to Chai’s destiny and that the two should marry as foretold by the Swamiji. Anger erupts in Hajarappa, who orders a lethal pursuit, forcing the trio to flee to Chai’s grandfather’s home. In a revealing turn, Chai’s supposed accident is exposed as the work of Chai’s father, an admission that Pichayya Naidu’s brother [Chandramohan] forces him to own to spare his son’s reputation. Pichayya Naidu steps forward to take the blame, sparing his son’s name and clearing the air.

In the aftermath, Chai confronts his own identity and the claims around the mole, only to learn that the mole was a ruse orchestrated by Bhukkaraya and his mother [Satya Krishnan] to safeguard Chai and to secure Chandramukhi’s place by his side. Meera confesses her love once more, yet she fears losing Chai to Chandramukhi, prompting a candid discussion about Siddharth’s place in Meera’s life. Meera shares her story with Chandramukhi, who, moved and heartbroken, contemplates leaving Chai to let him choose freely. Yet Chai reveals his own love for Chandramukhi as well, sparking a complex triangle of loyalties, love, and obligation.

A climactic clash ensues between Hajarappa and Pichayya Naidu, culminating in Chandramukhi’s decisive act of justice against Hajarappa. The truth about the family wars shakes Rayalu’s palace, forcing a dramatic confrontation on the day of the ultimate challenge: Rahul Vadayar challenges Pichayya Naidu to win Gundappa Naidu’s support and to claim power once and for all. In a bold turn, Chai steps forward, revealing that his full name is also Pichayya Naidu, and he enters the duel to defend his new family and his love. The fight is fierce, and Chai emerges victorious, extinguishing Rahul’s claim to power.

In the final, intertwined fates of love and duty, Meera weds Siddharth with the consent of Muthappa Gouda, while Chai finds his own happiness by marrying Chandramukhi. The families are united at last, and what began as a collision of rival lineages ends in a negotiated peace where love, loyalty, and shared history bind everyone together. The forest-smuggling world, palace intrigues, and romantic entanglements all resolve into a common future where two couples—Meera with Siddharth and Chai with Chandramukhi—build a new, united family amid the echoes of the region’s long-standing power games.
