Plot edit
The film begins with the judiciary sentencing the death penalty to Bobbili Puli Major Jay Simha when a pregnant woman pledges to enroll her stillborn son in the army and names him Chakradhar. Years pass, and Chakradhar becomes a top star in the film industry, which his mother disapproves of. Meanwhile, Sheela is his dedicated fan who has a crush on him. All the while, Colonel Jitendra approaches him with the concept of Major Jai Simha and narrates it precisely.
Major Jai Simha is highly patriotic, even slapping a Minister who disrespects the National anthem when higher authorities seek an apology. He re-slaps him when the Minister hosts the National flag incorrectly. Besides, he is content with his life. One day, he attends the wedding of his junior Ramakrishna’s sibling, Rajani. There, he witnesses Ramakrishna being killed and Rajani abducted by a malevolent MP Dadaji’s son. Jai Simha gets furious, rescues Rajani, and marries her. Subsequently, Dadaji files a case against him, but Jai Simha defends and acquits himself as not guilty. Next, he bravely confronts Dadaji and leaves a warning. Meanwhile, Chakradhar is vividly inspired and immersed in the character.
Later, Jitendra requests Chakradhar to accompany him to a secret lair and introduces him to Brigadier Siva Kumar. Here, to Chakradhar's amazement, he spots his identical Jai Simha in a coma when Jitendra explains the situation.
Once, Major Jai Simha captures a dreadful terrorist, Afzal Gani. To secure Gani's release, his group kidnaps MP Dadaji, who is a quisling. However, Jai Simha successfully orchestrates a rescue operation, during which he is distracted by pretending a venomous Razia Sultana as MP’s daughter. The country applauds Jai Simha for his bravery and honors him with the Maha Vir Chakra. In the interim, Razia Sultana slyly snatches the information and frees Afzal Gani. Moreover, Jai Simha is incriminated with the stigma of a traitor, facing a court-martial and imprisonment.
Following this, Afzal Gani plots to slay Jai Simha's family, and he breaks out of prison. Simultaneously, he receives information about a massive blast at a school function. So, he diverts his path and shields his family, risking death. He arrives home gravely injured, finds the dead bodies of his family, except Rajani, and slips into a coma.
Presently, Jitendra and Siva Kumar put Jai Simha undercover to vindicate him. According to the intelligence report, Jai Simha has planted a covert operative, Mohd Shafi, who is going to provide crucial information about a conspiracy. However, the person he recognizes is Jai Simha, which is why they have hired Chakradhar. Chakradhar happily takes up the job with determination. During the swap, Mohd Shafi is backstabbed, handing over a pen drive to Chakradhar, who senses something is fishy.
Meanwhile, Jai Simha dies, and Rajani also passes away on her husband's lap. Thus, Chakradhar pledges to make the nation salute Jai Simha and reveal Siva Kumar as a true renegade. Accordingly, he captures them and proves Jai Simha's innocence before the judiciary, which declares to restore his reputation. Therein, Chakradhar proclaims his quest for identity to endorse Param Vir Chakra on behalf of Jai Simha, who has passed away.
At last, Chakradhar is acquitted, and his mother embraces him. Finally, the movie ends with the government bestowing the Award to Major Jai Simha.
