Kandireega (2011)

Seenu is a cheerful, cheeky young man who spends his time getting into fights and charming his way out of them. He falls for Shruti and pursues her with great persistence, but she is wanted by Bhavani, a violent goon who will not tolerate a rival. Seenu's attempts to outwit Bhavani lead him far from home, into a big family in another town, where a case of mistaken identity and a separate feud turn his plans upside down. Kandireega ("wasp") was the first film of director Santosh Srinivas and a box-office success that boosted Ram's popularity as a youthful entertainer. Sonu Sood's villain and Thaman's songs were widely enjoyed, and Ram and Santosh Srinivas reunited later for Hyper.
