One day a couple Mohan Rao (Chandra Mohan) and Sudha, impressed by his honesty, decide to adopt him and give him a good life. They give him a new name Venu and bring him up as their own child. He looks after their Audio/Video cafe run by Mohan Rao. Anu goes to Malaysia and completes her education, but she still remembers her childhood friend Chanti.

The original song "Kannadi Koodum Kootti" was composed by Vidyasagar. Co-incidentally same track was reused by Vidyasagar himself as "Mainave" in its Tamil remake Thittikudhe (2003). All the tracks were huge chartbusters. The track "Kita Kita Talupulu", sung by Chithra, with lyrics by Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry was a huge hit and became an evergreen song. R. P.
