The story is set many years before the events of the 2022 film. King Vijayendra crowns Kulasekhar as the next ruler, but Kulasekhar is unfit to lead. In contrast, his sister Kanakavathi is intelligent and perceptive. In the nearby Kantara region, only the local tribes are permitted to roam; even kings have no authority there. Berme, the leader of the Kantara people, impresses Kanakavathi with his strength, wins her admiration, and secures permission for his people to trade at the Bandar Port. Circumstances soon take a dark turn when Kulasekhar vows to dominate the Kantara tribe and kills many villagers, including Berme’s mother. This unleashes another side of Berme, as he becomes possessed by various deities. But someone close betrays him in his quest. Who is that traitor? And how does Berme deliver justice to his tribe and restore the path of dharma?
