Meanwhile, Raju (Ravichandran, son of a rich man Chinna Durai (Major Sundararajan) is thrown out of his house by his stepmother Shantha Lakshmi (S.

Raju then goes after Jagathesh and finds Shanthi locked up in a cell on a remote island. Jagatheesh finds out the whereabouts of the boy but is unable to identify him, so he abducts a busload of boys from that school and forces Shanthi to identify the boy so that he could kill him.
