But to his shock, he finds that Murugan looks exactly like one of his old enemies, Sangathamizhan.

In retaliation, Sanjay killed Sangathamizhan and his family with the help of Kulandaivel, who is a fellow politician and the former best friend of Sangathamizhan's father during a festival. Now, Sanjay strikes a deal with Murugan and asks him to act as Sangathamizhan so that he can help him establish the copper factory in the village.

He had survived the explosion that annihilated his family and is hell-bent on avenging their deaths by killing Sanjay. Sangathamizhan comes to Sanjay's base where he fights Sanjay and Kulandaivel, ultimately emerging successful. The film ends with the copper factory sealed shut by the court and in an interview with the press, he says that as long as all the villagers are united, anything is possible to achieve.
