Upon release, both Devan and Mustafa are provided safe accommodation at Khan's house, where he meets up with Nancy, the daughter of Khan's second wife in her first marriage and an upcoming movie actress.

Upon realizing that Khan is double-crossing him, David Abraham kills him and appoints Devan as his representative in India.
Devan and Mustafa emerge as undisputed dons in the country. During that time, on a visit to Kerala, Devan meets up with Harikrishnan, his childhood friend undergoing a fast to protest against the appointment of scheduled caste persons as priests in temples as per the reservation policy of the Kerala government.

In the meantime, Mustafa falls in love with Saraswati, Hari's younger sister, who objects to her sister's love towards a Muslim. Hari is shocked to find that Mustafa is supported by Devan and splits ways with him.
Hari is allured by James and is used effectively to transport explosives into the city. The serial blasts breaks down Devan, who is shocked to find that his name is dragged effectively by David Abraham and gang. Mustafa is killed by James, where Devan finishes off David Abraham and James. Devan travels to appear in front of Justice Varma Commission, and was shot point-blank by Hari.
Present: Upon discharge from ICU, Devan is transferred to a ward where Justice Varma meets him, who plays a double game and successfully removes the bullets from Devan's pistol. Just minutes after the exit of Varma, Hari enters his ward and tries to shoot him up, but Devan successfully escapes. While following, Devan and Hari get into a car, but the cabbie was Koshy, Devan's attorney, who locks the car from outside, in which a bomb was planted. Using his remote comtrol, Devan blows up the car, thus killing Hari.
