== Plot ==
Vedam Venkata Ashok ([[Nandamuri Balakrishna]]), an orthodox traditional Brahmin, works as a priest in a temple. Urmila ([[Bhanupriya]]) and Ashok are in love. But Urmila's father Shanmukha Sastry ([[Gollapudi Maruti Rao]]) has betrayed Ashok's father Vedam ([[J. V. Somayajulu]]) and is trying to seize their whole property, pushing them below the poverty line. Adiseshayya ([[Narra Venkateswara Rao]]) and Shanmukha Sastry had planned together and had declared Ashok as a thief and had him sent to jail. After returning from jail, Ashok's father had restricted him from entering the house. Ashok has now decided to go to any safe place and earn a lot of money, so that he can again hold up his family's pride. In this situation, he comes across Karim Sahab ([[Kaikala Satyanarayana|Satyanarayana]]) in Bombay and gets involved in illegal and corrupt activities in the city. By doing all this, Ashok becomes Ashoka Chakravarthy and earns much money, but will he be able to regain his parents' confidence and their love, for whom he had jumped into such trouble?<ref name="Ashoka Chakravarthy (Story)">{{cite web|url=http://www.thecinebay.com/movie/index/id/1468?ed=Tolly |title=Ashoka Chakravarthy (Story)|publisher=The Cine Bay}}</ref>
