Sivakasi reveals his true name and the 15-year incident

Sivakasi reveals that his real name is Muthappa and explains how he was falsely blamed for a cracker incident near a possessed dancer 15 years earlier. The actual culprit was his brother Udayappa, which forced him to flee his family. Hema begins to understand the deeper weight of his past.

Return and MLA discovery

Hema pushes for marriage only with family consent, and Sivakasi returns to his village to confront the truth. He learns that Udayappa is now an MLA, thanks to his mother-in-law Moolimungari’s influence. The revelation raises the stakes for their union.

An Anonymous plan to help the family

Sivakasi resolves to lift his mother Thangam, sister Vairam, and the impoverished Ramalingam family, doing so anonymously to avoid complicating their lives. He begins quietly providing support and resources. This quiet generosity becomes a central motive of his character.

Past grievance and violent confrontation

A confidant recounts how Meiyappa died after Udayappa claimed Thangam had affairs. Enraged, Sivakasi beats Udayappa and his men, using a fake identity to avoid direct recognition. The confrontation cements Sivakasi’s fierce defense of his family.

Property dispute and the body double scheme

Udayappa tries to sell the ancestral property, but Sivakasi reminds buyers that only Muthappa’s signature can sanction the sale. To bypass this, Udayappa stages a fake body to resemble Muthappa. Sivakasi counters by inserting a note demanding donation of his share, and the note is found valid, exposing Udayappa’s deception.

MLA bid and Vairam's contest

Udayappa registers his MLA candidacy, and Vairam challenges him with Sivakasi’s money supporting her. The campaign becomes a proxy battle for control of the family’s future. The political maneuvering deepens the conflict.

Threats at the house and palm-burn

Udayappa visits Sivakasi’s house and Hema claims that Muthappa and Sivakasi are friends, which inflames him. Thangam feels threatened as the feud escalates, and Sivakasi burns his palms as a symbolic act of resolve. The confrontation hardens the community’s opinion against Udayappa.

Ramalingam kidnapped; Vairam attacked

At night, Vairam sees Ramalingam being kidnapped by someone she suspects is Udayappa, but the victim is actually Sivakasi in disguise. When she confronts Udayappa, he strikes her, earning sympathy votes from onlookers. The incident shifts public opinion further against Udayappa and in favor of Sivakasi.

Public sentiment turns against the conspirators

Sivakasi stages a fake threat against Vairam to trigger Udayappa’s attack on villagers, turning public opinion against him and Moolimungari. The community begins to rally behind Sivakasi as the truth about their corruption emerges. The tide of support shifts decisively.

Ramalingam's return and political win
