Anjali suggests Mass tie the knot immediately before her brother Seshu and Satya tries separating them. Seshu and Satya kill Adi when he tries to stop them from separating the lead pair before marriage. Mass later moves into Vizag and stays in an apartment hiding his identity to take revenge on Satya and Seshu. Finally, Mass' quest for revenge is completed as he finally eliminates them.
