The film revolves around Badri (Allu Arjun), who is groomed by martial arts and spiritual guru Bhishma Narayan (Prakash Raj) to protect the Badrinath temple in Takshashila, where Sri Maha Vishnu (Hindu God of sustanance) is the presiding deity. Into that temple walks Alakananda (Tamannaah Bhatia) who, due to circumstances, becomes a staunch agnostic. Badri converts her into a believer and in the process, without him being aware, becomes the object of her affection. But Badri has to protect her from her own loved ones.
