Valmiki and Ramachandra start their career working as clerks in the company of Ananth Radhakrishna, or ARK. Ramachandra falls in love with ARK's daughter Yasu, and becomes rich through his marriage to her in no time while Valmiki remains poor. On the day of the birth of both Valmiki's and Ramachandra's children, Ramachandra's son appears to be dead, so the nurse Sulochana and Valmiki switch the two boys out. However, when Valmiki takes the child down, the child begins to cry and turns out to be alive. The nurse wants to switch them out again, but Valmiki prevents her from doing it and accidentally pushes her off a ledge. The nurse goes into a coma, while Valmiki gets a leg cramp that makes him limp permanently.
The boys, Raj Manohar and Bantu, are raised in two different worlds. Raj is a timid, silent, innocent, and soft-spoken rich boy while Bantu is a smart, outspoken, hard working, middle-class man. Valmiki always favors Raj no matter how hard Bantu tries to impress Valmiki. He treats Bantu with hatred and neglect due to his true parentage, even going as far as to cancel his MBA scholarship. On his way to an interview at a travel agency, Bantu gets into a fight with Shekhar and his friends over a misunderstanding. Later, while being interviewed by Ravindra, Bantu finds out Shekhar is the HR manager of the travel agency who must approve Bantu for a job. Bantu apologizes to him for the misunderstanding and altercation and gets the job. On his first day of work, Bantu gets infatuated with his boss Amulya , and stares at her legs on the elevator, without realizing she is the CEO of the travel agency. As a result, Amulya gives Bantu some tough assignments to teach him a lesson. After Bantu, Amulya, Shekhar, and Ravindra take a trip to Paris together, Amulya begins to reciprocate Bantu's feelings for her. Meanwhile, Raj returns from abroad, unable to complete his MBA. Ramachandra sends Raj to reject Paidithalli who wants to buy 50% of ARK's shares. Ramachandra watches from a hotel where Amulya, Bantu, and Sudarshan have a meeting. Ramachandra is disappointed by Raj's hesitance and inability to say no to Paidithalli, but is proud of Bantu and Amulya for saying no to Sudarshan, who wanted to buy Amulya's travel agency. Due to this, ARK fixes an engagement between Raj and Amulya, but Raj was actually in love with his cousin Nandini.
Due to Bantu's refusal, Sudarshan files a case against Bantu and Amulya. Amulya finally reveals her feelings for Bantu while reprimanding him for his inability to lie to others. Bantu convinces her to tell Ramachandra the truth-that she is in love with Bantu and does not want to marry Raj. Appala Naidu, a powerful and influential man, as well as Paidithalli's father, attempts to kill Ramachandra because of the refusal moments before Amulya and Bantu arrive. Bantu saves Ramachandra and takes him to the hospital. Bantu meets Sulochana, who has come out of her coma, and learns of his true parentage. Angry, Bantu slaps Valmiki and tells him that he knows the truth about his birth. He blackmails Ramachandra's doctor, Shrinivas to enter Vaikuntapuram - Ramachandra's home. ARK is fond of Bantu for saving Ramachandra, fixing his relationship with Yasu, setting Paidathalli straight, reforming Yasu's cousins Kashiram and Sitaram, and handling other business problems.
Due to all this, ARK throws a huge party in happiness, where Yasu witnesses Bantu and Amulya kissing and reports it to the household. Bantu is kicked out by Valmiki and the engagement is cancelled. Appala Naidu uses this to his advantage, kidnapping Nandu and threatening to kill her unless Ramachandra signs off the shares for Paidithalli. When Valmiki begs Bantu to save Nandu, he refuses, but goes anyway. He thrashes the goons, slams Paidathalli, and stabs Appala Naidu with a kebab skewer. But later, Raj comes and saves Appala Naidu and his henchmen, thus Appala Naidu comes out of his enmity with Ramachandra by seeing Raj's humanity.
When Bantu and Valmiki are at Vaikuntapuram, ARK slaps Valmiki and reveals that he heard the conversation between Sulochana and Bantu right before her death. Bantu is able to reunite with his biological father, Ramachandra, but asks him not to reveal this secret to Yasu, because Yasu is still thinking that Raj is her biological son, if he says the truth, then Yasu will get depressed. However Yasu and Raj hear this conversation and Yasu agrees Bantu as his son and the family decides to give him 50% of the company's shares. Raj also accepts Valmiki as his father and agrees to stay in his house happily for five years or more to gain the skills necessary to become the CEO. Valmiki struggles to accept the fact that Raj feels better suited in a middle class setting, repenting for the mistake he made 25 years ago. Afterwards, Raj moves into Bantu's old house and befriends his new colleagues Shekhar and Ravindra from the travel agency, much to Valmiki's dismay. Meanwhile, Bantu heads to his new office as the CEO with his wife Amulya in a helicopter, which makes Valmiki jealous.
