Prathapa and City  Police Commissioner Felix John (Siddique) are good friends. Their sons are also good friends.

The Commissioner hatches a foul plan and arrests Boss for the alleged kidnapping of Adithya Varma (John Kaippallil), son of Prathapa Varma.

However, Boss, with the help of his associates, managed to distribute a video in the Media that shows Aditya Verma and the daughter of Felix John in Nagpur, enjoying the festival of Holi together.

The Commission has no option but to leave Boss. Boss later kidnaps Aditya Varma and kills him. Boss even tells the fact to Prathapa Varma with the warning that he can do nothing against him. Now, the Commissioner and Prathpa Varma plan to kill Boss.

The associates of Boss are shocked to know that Boss has killed the son of Prathapa Varma. They want to know the reason behind his cruelty.

Boss then takes his associates with him and lands in a house where Ayyanar (Rajkiran) is bedridden and is on a lift support system. Boss tells the background story behind his heinous crime.
