He eventually becomes a feared henchman for a powerful local don, Seena Thana (Pradeep Rawat). Jaya is known for his brutal methods and is loyal to Seena Thana, who treats him like a son.
Jaya’s life takes a turn when he is sent on a mission to Kanyakumari. There, he meets Brinda (Gopika), a college student who is on a pilgrimage. Brinda’s innocence and kindness leave a deep impression on Jaya, and he begins to question his own violent lifestyle.

However, Seena Thana, feeling betrayed, orders his men to kill Jaya.
