Directed by Chandra Sekhar Yeleti, follows the story of Aditya (played by Nithiin), a con artist who is wrongfully convicted as a terrorist and sentenced to death. While languishing in prison, he discovers an extraordinary talent for chess after being mentored by a fellow inmate, Srimannarayana.
Plot holes, unconvincing logic in the chess games, and a climax that drew comparisons to The Shawshank Redemption .
