Plot

Aditya (Sunil) and Sanchita (Pooja) study in the same college and become friends. While Aditya develops love towards Sanchita, she remains focused on her dreams of becoming a cinema star. After the studies, she eventually becomes a star and finds an overnight success. Aditya, on the other hand, remains jobless and becomes dependent on his only sister's earnings. His love towards Sanchita grows more after she reaches stardom and all this will be under the observation of her co-star Siddharth (Ajith) who is jealous of her success. He hatches a plot to demean her using Aditya as a pawn. He befriends Aditya and asks him to do activities that irks her and make her hate him and even send him to jail. The rest of the story tells about how Sanchita comes to know Siddharth's tricks and how she reunites with Aditya.

Cast

Filming

The most part of the filming took over at the picturesque locations of Sakleshpur in Karnataka.[5] Some parts were shot at Bangalore.

Soundtrack

All the songs are composed and scored by Gopu. The audio launch function was a simple affair with the lead characters attendance at a hotel on 13 July 2009.[6] Aditya Music acquired the rights of the audio CD which consisted of 5 Songs. The audio was released by the mother of producer Gajendra. Newcomer Shiva Shashi alias Jagadish wrote the lyrics for the songs.
