(The Journey for a peaceful life)
Some of our Indian societies, in the regions of Rayalaseema, Dharmapuri, Vijayawada and several other places are still more under-developed. The reason for this is due to the caste-discrimination, color-discrimination and also for the various other factors, that happens in Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh, where the factionalism feuds are common.
Places like Kadappa, Kurnool and Sileru are known for the frequent and violent clashes, which often becomes a trouble in the region. Enters Keshava Krishna Reddy, son of a factional leader Mahendra Reddy, from Kadappa. Since childhood, Keshava was sensitive towards violence. In addition, due to the clash between his father and another village faction leader Bala Reddy from Kurnool, he loses his mother at a young age.
Angry against his father, he henceforth, goes to London with his uncle Ram Manohar Reddy(after a harsh fight with his father and family), where he grew up peacefully away from all sorts of violence. In London, Keshava graduated in Humanities and Arts course and is creating an awareness about the "Importance of education and life" in London.
Meanwhile, Ram meets with an accident and is hospitalized, in the process. Keshava rushes to meet him in the hospital.
The Doctors, after checking Ram comes to meet Keshava.
"Doctor. What happened?" asked Keshava.
"Really sorry, Ms. Keshavan. Due to the heavy injuries, we are unable to save him. He wanted to tell his last words to you. Go and meet him immediately" said the doctor, to which he agrees.
Keshava learns from his uncle that, "His father was an educated person and was living in London. He too, was sensitive to bloodsheds and violence.

Also, after a few days, Mahendra lost his wife and since, Keshava was not in a position to understand Mahendra, he came with him."
"Keshava. Please go and meet your father. My last wish and your father's wish is the feuds and factionalism must come to an end" said Ram and he dies.
Ram's body is brought to Kadappa by Keshava, where Ram is cremated by Mahendra. However, after the cremation, Bala Reddy's gang comes in the car and brutally kills everyone, including Mahendra Reddy. When Keshava was attacked, he retaliates by killing a few henchmen of Bala Reddy brutally. In the process, Bala Reddy is also stabbed by Keshava.
However, on the plight of request by Keshava's grandfather Hari Reddy(who is feared about his grandson's situation), Keshava decides to go for Hyderabad and live peacefully, with the help of his close friend(college friend), Raagul Naidu. Since, he thought that violence is not the only solution for these kinds of faction wars.
