The story narrates how many difficulties he has to face while making the movie, having no knowledge or expertise of it. The story takes a when the owner of the Camera finds her camera back! Will Veerababu ever be successful in making the movie?
PLOT-
Veerababu is an Auto-Rickshaw driver living in the village of Gollapally. The village is near the Andhra-Karnataka border. Veerababu is poor, but an honest, hardworking, optimistic, and highly ambitious man.
Gollapalli is one of the drought-affected areas. There is no rain, no drinking water, and bad roads, which tends the villagers to migrate to cities.
But Veera is of the opinion that if everyone migrates to the cities, who will look after the village? Veera is the one who would Cheer-up the villagers when they complain about things like these.
However, On a fine day, Veera finds a DSLR camera in his auto which is forgotten by one of its passengers. As mentioned above Veera first thinks of selling it off, so as to pay the loan of his Auto-Rikshaw. But instead, he decides to cancel this decision and now gets up to make an actual Movie from the camera. He gets this idea from one of the TV Programs that shows to make low-budget movies.
And this is how begins the story of Veera babu who makes up his mind to make the movie with zero experience, no accessories except for a camera, and no professional actors!
As far as the story for the Film is concerned, he gets a Love Story from an old man in the village.
Ganapathi, a wedding photographer in the village agrees to help Veera make a movie. They choose Maridayya, a barber as their lead hero. After many unsuccessful attempts to find a female role, Divya, a schoolgirl finally agrees!
Veerababu has to go through a lot of hurdles while making the movie due to their lack of experience. At first, even the villagers make fun of Veerababu but as and how time passes, Veerababu and his team get the villager’s support. Amidst this, Divya’s father arranges a forceful marriage to her, and again the film faces an interruption. However, they cast Manga, Maridayya’s girlfriend and the shooting begins.
The inexperience and innocence of the villagers can be seen in one of the scenes when Verra asks Ganpathi what is the spongy area at the top of the camera is used for? (which is actually the mic) Ganpathi, even him not knowing its proper usage says that it is used to wipe the sweat off the hand while shooting!
In the meantime, Sindhu the owner of the Camera tries to find her lost camera and informs her acquaintances about it,
Things in Gollapalli get bad when the camera falls from a tree while shooting and gets damaged. When they take it to a studio for repairing it, the studio owner instead calls Sindhu and informs her that her lost camera is found. Furious, she takes the camera from them.
But after watching the film (although incomplete) made by Veera, she gets impressed and encourages them to complete the movie by giving them a camera. The whole village is elated!
