He tells them that this business of incense sticks, would give him a big profit and all. They are almost ready to give it but a man, Kaattalan Jose (Jayaraj Warrier), who was Joy's first business partner, tells the truth that Joy tried to cheat him once through the business of Kattalan Rickshaws and he made thousands of rickshaws. But since they were of no use, he had to sell all of them for less than half of its expense. Since they trusted Jose, the elephant owner's association refused to give elephant dung to Joy.
