The film was a remake Dwarkish's hit Kannada movie Nee Bareda Kadambari (1985) starring Vishnuvardhan which itself was a remake of the Hindi film Pyar Jhukta Nahin (1985) starring Mithun Chakraborty which was also remade in Telugu as Panchani Kapuram (1985) starring Krishna and Sridevi.

The doctor says that she is pregnant. Hearing this news, Priya is ready to mend fences with Vijay. She wants to go and tell him the news. But her dad does not allow her to go as he had fixed her marriage with someone else. But she gives her dad the slip and goes to Vijay's house, just to find out that he vacated the place recently. The next scene shows Vijay in the hospital to visit his friend. Priya's stomach ached and she was brought to the same hospital. Hearing this, Vijay is very happy and tries to talk to Priya, but her dad tells Vijay that he will give him the baby on the condition that he promises he will never see Priya again and Vijay promises.
