Although Dharmaraju maintains a respectable image in public, he is secretly involved in unethical activities. Along with his associates, Satya Murthy and Nyayapathi, Dharmaraju exploited the poor by collaborating with the British. Years earlier, the trio framed a freedom fighter, Sardar Paparayudu, for the murder of a king, Vijayaraghavaraju, in the Andaman Islands. As a result, Paparayudu was sentenced to life imprisonment. </p><p>Upon meeting Ramu, Dharmaraju is shaken by the young officer's striking resemblance to Sardar Paparayudu. It is soon revealed that Ramu is, in fact, Paparayudu's son. His mother, Seeta, is the wife of Paparayudu. Dharmaraju's fears intensify when Sardar Paparayudu is released from prison, seeking vengeance for his wrongful imprisonment. </p><p>A conflict arises between Paparayudu and Ramu, as the former seeks justice against Dharmaraju. In a climactic confrontation, Paparayudu sacrifices himself to protect his son and others. In his dying moments, he embraces Ramu, reconciling with him before passing away. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sardar_Paparayudu&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/N._T._Rama_Rao" title="N.
