It begins with the “pellichoopulu” or arranged meeting between Prashanth (played by Vijay Deverakonda) and Chitra (Ritu Varma). Fed up of his care-a-damn son, the boy’s father believes marriage will make him a more responsible man. Chitra turns out to be an ambitious girl and meeting her changes Prashanth’s life for the better.
Jackky Bhagnani’s Pelli Choopulu Hindi remake will be set in Gujarat.
