It unsettles him and make him fight against the immoral cultures of the society. He decides to take on corrupt bureaucrats and his friend Ramachandran (Soori), a lawyer Raja Chandrapandian (Subbu Panchu), a journalist Gopinath (C. Gopinath), along with his girlfriend Poomaari (Amala Paul), join him in his mission to fight against the corruption.
They form a plan and successfully expose 147 government officials, including a court judge and an MP, and are caught taking bribes for Unknown person by the name of Hari Chandran, which was created by non-other than Aravindhan himself using his own picture, but modified to look different. Now, all those corrupted officials team up to take on Aravindan and his team with a look-alike who fits the image and description of Hari Chandran, named Narasimha Reddy (Jayam Ravi), a 42-year-old middle-aged man who does underground work for the Andhra Pradesh government with hints of him being a womanizer; to showcase that Hari Chandran is indeed a real person, as a method of thwarting Aravindan's battle.
