Meanwhile Bhaskar a hardened criminal gets released after 14 years and reunites with his mother. He is shocked to know that his supposedly dead father is still alive and has grown to be a dangerous criminal. While his mother was pregnant Bhaskar's father, Dharmaraj, who was an honest person somehow ended up robbing a temple and killed a person in the process. Bhaskar is disturbed and tries to avenge his wrongdoings. In the process he comes across Thirupathi who mistakes him for Vijay and persuades him to catch a criminal. While Thirupathi gets a transfer to Raichur, a clueless Vijay gets promoted to Sub Inspector post for Bhaskar's brave deed. Bhaskar who by this time comes to know about his dim witted look alike decides to use the situation to his benefit and what happens later forms the crux of the story.
