Nippu

The story begins with Surya, who owns a gym and has a good friend named Sriram. Surya is in love with Sriram's sister Meghna, and after some cat-and-mouse games, she also falls in love with Surya. After a while, Sriram goes to Saudi Arabia for a job and develops feelings for Vaishnavi. The story takes a turn when Surya also goes to Saudi Arabia to celebrate Sriram's birthday and is shocked when the police arrests Sriram on the charge of murdering Vaishnavi. He is sentenced to death. The only thing Surya can do is get the signature from Vaishnavi's parents to acquit Sriram, but Vaishnavi's father is Raja Goud, the bad guy whom Surya has been fighting all along. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.
