Director Bhargava revealed that he was so enchanted with Naa Ninna Mareyalare on which he worked as an associate that he requested Chi. Udayashankar for a similar themed story - a tragic love story between hero and heroine where the hero named Anand has a constant companion in the form of bike. Udayashankar worked on a story idea that Rajkumar had not accepted since he had done a similar role - a hero taking care of an abandoned child - in Devara Makkalu.
Plot Anand (Vishnuvardhan) is a stage singer. He lives with his best friend Gopal (Ramesh Bhat). Kavitha (Bhavya) is a close friend of Anand and is secretly in love with him. Sangeetha (Rupini) the daughter of a rich businessman Vishwaprasad (Ashok Rao) and Anand fall in love. Vishwaprasad does not approve of Anand and arranges Sangeetha's marriage with Prasanna (Anant Nag). Vishwaprasad manages to engage Anand for a concert in Chennai when the marriage is to take place. On finding this out, Anand rushes to stop the marriage but is attacked by Vishwaprasad's goons. In a tough fight he gets hit on the head, loses consciousness and is admitted to the hospital.
