He is a billionaire wanted for theft and diamond smuggling. Mutthu meets Kiran Kumar in the city and is shocked to see the similarity. Kiran convinces Mutthu to stay with him, pretending he is his twin brother. After some time, Kiran reveals to Mutthu that he is a cancer patient and requires help for his business.
