Veeran was in love with Maya and had informed Mannadiar about it. A few days before the marriage, a young man named Bhadran arrives at Mannadiar's house, and tells that he is in love with Maya, and also added that her parents had agreed to the marriage without Maya's consent. Mannadiar called off Veeran's marriage and gets Maya and Bhadran married. Bhadran was a gang member of Marakkar, who did not want to kill the DIG. Hence, Bhadran was a target of the gang. Veeran saves Bhadran and the latter is appointed as Mannadiar's driver. Marakkar kills Marar's son and also kills Veeran as he would have been an eyewitness. From that day onwards, Mannadiar waits for the chance to avenge for his brother's death. Upon hearing the story, Nariman decides to help Mannadiar. Although convicted by court for execution, Marakkar tries every possible way to escape. Mannadiar and Bhadran get themselves taken to the prison where Marakkar has been kept. While transferring Marakkar to another prison, Mannadiar, along with Bhadran, kidnaps Marakkar with Nariman's assistance. Marakkar challenges Mannadiar to a fair fight, where he initially overpowers Mannadiar, who soon gets the better of him. In order to save Mannadiar from a bomb thrown by Marakkar's associates, Nariman catches the bomb and falls on it, which explodes, killing him. Mannadiar kills Marakkar's associates with a gun and hangs Marakkar from a tree to death.
