Plot
Chotu works as a bounty hunter and engages in capturing gangsters for money from the cops. Chotu is also searching for his parents as he was kidnapped by Chidambaram, a gangster and leader of a child-begging racket. While capturing a goon, Chotu comes across Sameera, a guitar teacher and the sister of the goon working for a gangster Johnny Bhai. The cops ask Chotu to nab Sameera's brother as he is wanted for various crimes. Chotu enters at Sameera's house and forcefully arrests his brother after causing much havoc in the house.
Chotu falls in love with Sameera, who later reciprocates her love for Chotu. Veeraiah's elder son Kailash works for Johnny Bhai, who will be arrested on charges of killing a minister Narendra Kumar, which was actually planned by Johnny Bhai. Johnny Bhai wants to kill Kailash, who is arrested, fearing that he will reveal his name to the cops. Kailash escapes from the police and Johnny Bhai goes in search of him. The city commissioner asks Chotu to find Kailash in exchange for money.
Sameera's brother vacates his house and escapes to Bangkok, fearing Johnny Bhai. Chotu also goes to Bangkok in search of Sameera and catches Kailash, who tells him that Narendra Kumar was killed by his own brother and that Kailash took the blame. Johnny Bhai kidnaps Sameera and her brother and threatens to kill them if Chotu does not hand over Kailash to him. Later, Chotu rescues Sameera from Johnny Bhai and finally reunites with his parents.
