Vijay is a street-smart guy who meets and falls in love with his childhood friend RJ Priya. Priya reveals that her father Vikram Prathap Simha found a red diamond and had decided to hand over the red diamond to the Governor, but Rajashekhara alias King, who is the present Home Minister, had learned about the diamond, where he killed Vikram and blamed him as a traitor after the latter refused to give the diamond to King.
