At the same time, again municipal elections are notified so, Anna Rao & Gunna Rao approach Viswam to seek his help as student power is in hands, but he refuses. Now all the students pursue Viswam to contest, with their encouragement and aiding he wins with the majority. Knowing this, Anna Rao & Gunna Rao joins together, murders Viswam and disappears his body. Surprisingly, Viswam appears as a soul to his students Prasad Babu & Eeswar Rao which guides and shows them his identical person Chittaiah (again N. T. Rama Rao) who is a kind-hearted local goon.
