Seetharamula Kalyanam - Another fun ploy …
Here comes our Telugu hero, who scripts a simplistic fun drama to oust the villain from the matrix. All it takes for him is an idiotic Appalraju (Brahmanandam) and an equally dumb-witted Veera Prathap (Salim Panda), who is just blinded by his love for Indu, so much so he has no hunch of what a fool he is becoming.
