Suhasini Maniratnam, Devaraj and Ravi Kale play other pivotal roles.[3]

Plot
Soma (Audithya) is a talented cricketer-turned-underworld don. An incident where Soma is asked to cough up a 10 lakh bribe so as to be included in the state cricket team turns his life upside down.
Not only does the selector leave out Soma's name from the final list, but he also refuses to return the money. What ticks off Soma, even more, is a swear word uttered by the selector. In an impulsive act of rage, Soma kills the selector and thus begins his liaison with the Bangalore crime scene.
Soma, having emerged as one of the most wanted criminals, is on the hit list of police officers Ashok, Mani, and Ugrappa. Does he fall to their bullets? And is there any connection between him and the Soma in Deadly Soma?
Music
The background music was composed by L. N. Shastry. There is only one situational song composed by him for the film.
