) is a good hearted don in Hyderabad who runs away from home at a young age. He extorts money, kidnaps and roughs up people for money with the help of his faithful sidekick ATM (Srikanth). But, he lies to his old age father (Girish Karnad
) that he is a doctor in the city. Every year when they come to the city to visit him, he pretends to be a doctor and makes them happy. Finally the drama comes to an end, as one of the doctors in the locality Lingam (Paresh Rawal

). Shankar decides to complete MBBS and become a doctor to live up to his parent’s wishes. He joins the college at which Lingam is the principal, and turns into a menace to him.
