Kathanayakudu Story

The film begins in the village Siricilla where Balakrishna / Balu, a babber, resides with his wife Sridevi & 3 children. He faces a challenging monetary crisis as his business is on its way to shutting down. As it happens, he cannot afford to pay the school fees for his children, and higher bodies remove them. Whatever it may be, Balu confronts troubles with a smile because his lovely family boosts his courage.

During that time, the whole town was electrified to know that a Super Star Ashok Kumar film shoot was about to be performed in their surroundings. Ashok Kumar & Balu are besties from childhood who have been separated by time. So, Sridevi & children ask and aspire to meet him, which Balu backs due to his timid and self-respectful nature. Further, it is a long gap, and he reckons that people will change along with money & fame.

Meanwhile, Ashok Kumar arrives, accompanying industry stalwarts Nayanthara, Vijayakumar, Nizhagal Ravi, etc. Since the village is located near the Tamilnadu-Andra Pradesh border, the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency is raging across. Thus, the government allocated the Z Category to Ashok Kumar, led by Deputy DCP Satyanand. As a result, it becomes unfeasible to reach him, and mass appeal assembles around him. Ashok Kumar works on two films in between this pandemonium.

Besides, Sridevi makes a big plug about Ashok Kumar & Balu’s bond, and he turns into a smasher. Ergo, the whole town bestows him with gifts to fulfill their wants. Moreover, the school authorities decided to retrieve his children. In turn, Ashok Kumar will be the honored guest on their annual day. Balu attempts his best to approach him but fails. Slowly, he fronts backlash & mortification, and people reclaim their offerings. Now Balu blushed, and his children started disliking their father.

However, the school entity can access Ashok Kumar and invite him to their function. Since it is the last chance, Sridevi desires to view Ashok Kumar, so Balu takes her and silently watches, standing aside. On occasion, Ashok Kumar tearfully speaks about his childhood when he was destitute, recalling his childhood soulmate Balakrishna / Balu and his favors, which cannot be repaid. Afterward, when Balu returns, he is startled to see Ashok Kumar at his home and emotionally embraces him. At last, Ashok Kumar said they would stay with him. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note, with the public applauding for the eminence of their friendship.
