About the movie

Arundhati/Jejamma, the Queen of Gadwal, buries alive Pasupathi, an evil man who also happens to be the husband of the former’s sister. Pasupati is a womanizer who affected the lives of many. Despite being in the tomb, Pasupathi’s spirit wreaks havoc in Gadwal. A group of Aghoras advises Arundhathi to sacrifice her life to create a rare weapon that can stop Pasupathi. Years later, Arundhati, believed to be the incarnation of Jejamma, visits Gadwal to see her grandfather, who suffered an accident. The evil spirit of Pasupathi is freed from the tomb, and he comes back to haunt the queen’s descendants.
