Aakanksha portrays a character that has to deal with deceit at different levels, be it in her wedding or incidents that shaped her childhood. Several others come and go, like Teja Kakamanu as the cop, Divi as a political strategist and Aamani as the mother who takes on a new role, trying to make a mark in the smaller parts assigned to them. Like in season one, Jagapathi Babu takes a backseat for the most part and it is hard to buy the argument that his character is blissfully unaware of the murky activities of Naidu. The narrative shows Gopi emerging a strong opponent who has the potential to challenge Naidu, using both political tact and a genuine interest to do something constructive for the people. The transition is quick and unconvincing but soon Gopi gets both money and power to wage a war against Naidu. He picks up a fight with a prison bully and later wins the confidence of the supervisor Ratnakar (Ravi Varma), who becomes instrumental in getting him bail and a new start. He is prone to rage and knee jerk reactions, as always. Nothing much changes in Gopi’s demeanour, at least in the beginning. The story takes off where season one ends, with Gopi being arrested for an attempt to murder after he storms into Suresh and Rachana’s (Aakanksha Singh) wedding and threatens Naidu.

Season two, also directed by L Krishna Vijay and Vishwanath Arigela, is spread over five episodes of 30 to 35 minutes. Season one was an overstretched drama of seven episodes of 50 to 55 minutes each showcasing characters that were not fleshed out enough and plot points that were outdated.
