Whats the Movie about?

Shivaji (Shankar prefers the spelling as Sivaji), the film, opens with thousands of crowds waiting outside a court hall. A man named Sivaji is brought to the court by CBI and Police officers. Fearing the public outrage, the police officers mask his face. Sivaji is sent to jail. In the prison, co-prisoner asks Sivaji what offence he did – murder, rape, filming pornography or running chit fund company and bankrupting it? Sivaji turns and shows his face – that is Rajnikant – and says “I tried making our country better.”

After the titles roll, it is shown that Sivaji (Rajnikant), a software analyst, returns to India from USA and wants to setup Sivaji Foundation with Rs 200 Crores. He also falls in love with traditional Telugu girl (Shriya) and wants to marry her. On the other hand, he meets another businessman Adiseshu (Suman) and seeks help from him in setting up colleges that provides free education and general hospitals. Fearing that Sivaji’s charity plan might hamper his business interests, Suman uses all the power to stop Sivaji’s plans. He conspires against him and makes him pauper. Out of jail, Sivaji hatches a plan to unearth all the black money of Suman and also from other business men and do it for good cause. The rest of the film is how Sivaji takes revenge on Adiseshu.
