Charan 'Cherry' / Siddharth Naayak (played by Ram Charan) is a protagonist in Naayak.
Siddharth Naayak is a fugitive avenger who is mistaken for his look-alike, Charan 'Cherry', a software engineer. Siddharth fights the corrupt power threatening his loved ones and ultimately kills Minister Rawat, while Cherry protects Jilebi, falls in love with Madhu, and helps clear Siddharth's name. Madhu (played by Kajal Aggarwal) is a protagonist in Naayak.
Madhu is Babji's sister and becomes romantically involved with Cherry. After Cherry manipulates Babji and rescues children from traffickers, Madhu returns his love. She later travels with her family to Kolkata, where Siddharth helps reunite her with Cherry and supports their relationship. Nandini (played by Amala Paul) appears in Naayak.
Nandini is Siddharth's fiancée during his earlier life in Kolkata. She lives with Siddharth, his sister, and his brother-in-law after he passes IIT. Her connection to Siddharth places her within the family and personal life that is endangered by Rawat's corruption and violence. Minister Rawat (played by Pradeep Ram Singh Rawat) appears in Naayak.
Minister Rawat is the central political antagonist who orders the CBI to capture Siddharth for execution. He protects his criminal family, frames Siddharth for a minister's murder, rises to central office, attacks Cherry, and kidnaps schoolchildren before Siddharth kills him with a bomb. Siddharth's sister (played by Surekha Vani) appears in Naayak.
Siddharth's sister lives in Kolkata with her husband and welcomes Siddharth after he passes IIT in Delhi. Her household includes Siddharth and Nandini, making it part of his personal history. The family's exposure to the corrupt violence surrounding Rawat helps shape Siddharth's later revenge. Jilebi (played by Brahmanandam) appears in Naayak.
Jilebi is Cherry's uncle and the CEO of CgTrix in Hyderabad. After angering Babji and falling into danger, he is saved by Cherry's clever intervention. Jilebi later accompanies the CBI officer during the pursuit of Cherry and remains connected to the mistaken-identity conflict. Siddharth's brother-in-law (played by Rajiv Kanakala) appears in Naayak.
Siddharth's brother-in-law is a doctor who handles the case of a minor harmed through steroid injections and prostitution. He reports the crime to the police without knowing of their alliance with Rawat's Second Brother, who later arranges his murder. His death drives Siddharth toward revenge.
