Bad Boy Karthik is set in Vizag and follows the story of Karthik, who lives with his sister Kasthuri, a lawyer who wants him to settle in the USA. Meanwhile, Karthik falls for Mahalaxmi, the daughter of ACP Sai.
One day, Karthik discovers that a group of goons is trying to kill his sister. Determined to uncover the truth, he begins tracking down those behind the attacks, which eventually leads him to Kadiri, coincidentally the same place where ACP Sai gets transferred.
Sai challenges Karthik, saying that he will approve of their relationship only if Karthik takes on Govindappa and Varadha Reddy, the powerful local dons. But are these men the same ones targeting his sister? The rest of the story explores this question.
