Chatrapathi is a high-voltage mass-action entertainer drama and the official remake of the Telugu hit film Chatrapathi released in 2005. The story is that of Shivaji (Bellamkonda Sreenivas) who is separated from his family by his jealous step brother and lands up at Vizag port in a different boat where he is brought up by the locals staying and working at there. Shivaji cannot forget his family and continues to search for his mother but making life difficult for him and the locals is a goon who uses refugee labour for his personal gain. Fed up of the atrocities of the local goon Shivaji rises up to become the saviour of the oppressed and comes in defence of the other refugees, where his well-wishers start referring him as ‘Chatrapathi’.
