A boy who watches the Sakthiman serial is inspired by him and tries to become a Superman. What are the real-life stunts he did? How does he get himself involved with the flaws in the contemporary education system? How does he settle down in life upon a suggestion from his father? These points form the plot of the film and we narrated in an intriguing manner. The film got a great reception in Tamil and it has a universal subject, so we are expecting a similar response from the Telugu audience as well. We showcased many hard truths in the film and sincerely hope it keeps the viewers engaged and also make them think at the same time."
