He harasses her and on the eve of her wedding, kidnaps her, frames up Guru in a false case, puts her on virtual house arrest, brutally rapes and kills her! Due to his clout and money power, JP makes it look like a suicide.

Back to the present, Guru with the help of his friend Reghu (Sasi) working in the channel meticulously plans for a year to take revenge. In a chilling and cold- blooded way, Guru tells JP on phone-"Bad Morning JP it is 10 am, you will be dead by 12’noon"!

JP doesn't know who is speaking. Guru threaten JP to use his old friend's car and go to koyambedu. JP calls his henchman Deva (Yugendran) to kill him but guru, knowing this, makes him get beaten by people. He comes and saves him and he also arranges income tax officers to arrest him for having black money in the car. He also threatened him that he would send him a video containing JP giving money to minister (John Amrithraj in his last role).

JP identifies that it is guru doing this work because Priya was killed in 14 February so he is going to kill him. JP going to take revenge on him. Guru is working as pizza delivery boy, he catches him and beat him. Guru snatches chains and surrenders himself to police to escape from him. He tells to police about JP.
