Raja then turns into a professional killer in Vikram's gang. Raja comes across Soorya (master Rohan) who idolizes him as his hero and even adopts his lifestyle. Soorya grows up and falls in love with Vikram's sister Kiran. Initially Raja encourages Soorya, but when he learns that the girl is Kiran, he advises Soorya to relent, but in vain.
