The movie is based on the mythical love story of Shakuntala and Dushyanta, based on the famous Sanskrit play Abhijnanasakuntalam by Kalidasa. The film features Samantha in the titular role of Shakuntala and Dev Mohan as Dushyanta, a king of the Chandravamsha dynasty, along with Mohan Babu, Jisshu Sengupta, Madhoo and Prakash Raj, among others in supporting roles.
