Slowly their love blossoms under these petty things and they return to their village, where they are separated at the railway station by their parents. Their vacation ends and Kalyan reaches the railway station to get back to his college, but Supriya does not turn up. Kalyan learns that her marriage is fixed, and gets off the train to reach Supriya's house. But he is thrashed by Harichandra Prasad and his men. Meanwhile, Supriya's wedding is postponed due to her grandmother's death. Using this to their advantage, Kalyan and Supriya elope. Her brother and his men become involved in a fight with Kalyan.

Production
[edit]Ravi Raja Pinisetty was initially set to direct Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi. However, Pinisetty felt that producer Allu Aravind would not invest enough in the project, so he decided to step down. He informed Kalyan of his decision, clarifying that there was no misunderstanding between them.[5]
The film employed a unique marketing campaign prior to its release. Initially, posters featuring Kalyan were released with the question, "Who is this guy?". Later, before the film's release posters declaring "This is our Kalyan" further heightened audience interest. The anticipation was also fueled by Kalyan's connection as Chiranjeevi's brother.[6]

Reception
