                    At times, even a confrontation can make love blossom between 
                    two teenagers. And when their parents are sworn enemies, and 
                    the youngsters like each other without knowing this fact, 
                    this can lead to a volcano-plot for a violent love story on 
                    celluloid. 
                   Sri Lakshmi 
                    Narasimha Productions' "Aadi," directed by newcomer 
                    V.V. Vinayak from his own story, deals with an emotional, 
                    romantic tale set against a factionist backdrop. NTR Jr. plays 
                    the teenager who falls in love with his adversary's daughter 
                    (debutante Keerthi Chawla) and becomes a don of sorts. 
                   "NTR, 
                    cast as Adi Kesava Reddy, is a fun-loving college student, 
                    a computer buff and a cricket player. Circumstances force 
                    him to become a don, and he takes on a wealthy but vicious 
                    man (Rajan P. Dev), who plays the villain. 
                   "He 
                    is on a mission, which his father could not accomplish when 
                    Aadi was a five-year-old. In the meantime he falls in love 
                    with a girl, not aware that she belongs to the family of his 
                    adversary. But even after he comes to know of it, he vows 
                    to marry the girl. He also decides to take revenge on his 
                    family's tormentor. How he ultimately achieves both has been 
                    dealt with sentiment. There is also a bit of action, love 
                    and revenge. The film projects yet another facet of the young 
                    NTR's talent as an all-rounder," says Vinayak, who is 
                    happy to make his debut with this hero, and in the company 
                    of senior technicians, led by Paruchuri brothers. 
                   According 
                    to Paruchuri Gopalakrishna, "Vinayak wrote a gripping 
                    story which showcases human emotions mingled with love and 
                    action. It also shows that today's youth are not just fun-loving, 
                    and when a situation demands, they can be brave enough to 
                    fight against injustice." 
                   NTR Jr. 
                    says, "In the second half of the film, my role undergoes 
                    a lot of emotional upsurges. It is the story of Aadi Kesava 
                    Reddy (known to his friends as Aadi), and his final victory 
                    over love and revenge. Hence the title. 
                   "Vinayak 
                    will probably seta new trend in films based on love stories." 
                   Keerthi 
                    Chawla says her role of an egoistic modern girl offers ample 
                    scope to perform. "Without knowing that the hero hails 
                    from a family which is a sworn enemy of our family, I fall 
                    in love with him. And this leads to intriguing situations. 
                   Producer 
                    P. Nagamani says the film is nearing completion. "In 
                    the last schedule at Vizianagaram, we will be shooting the 
                    remaining talkie portions and action scenes. We have shot 
                    scenes at Hyderabad, Bobbili, Kurnool, Vizag and the surrounding 
                    areas. The 15-minute climax is thrilling. We plan to release 
                    the film by the third week of March.
