Yagnam (2004 film)

Seenu is a loyal servant and the right-hand man of faction leader Reddeppa. He and Sailaja, Reddeppa's daughter, grew up together. Nayudamma is an archrival of Reddeppa. Factional feuds between them have resulted in the loss of several lives among their groups. When Reddeppa realizes that his daughter and Seenu are in love, he swings into action, trying to kill Seenu. The rest of the story is about how Seenu secures Sailaja's hand in marriage and unites the forces of followers in both the warring groups to teach their masters (Reddeppa and Nayudamma) a lesson or two. ==Cast==
