The hero in Khiladi is touted to be a smart player. For most of the film, we do not understand what he is after, though we see clues that he has a soft spot for hard cash. In the first part of the story, Mohan Gandhi (Ravi Teja) is presented as a happy family man.

He is seriously injured but taken to jail, and his daughter is put in a welfare home.
