Plot

Murugan (Vijay Sethupathi) is a happy-go-lucky youngster and aspiring actor in Chennai who mostly roams around with his sidekick, Soori (Soori). One day, Murugan met Kamalini (Raashi Khanna), who is the daughter of the wealthy industrialist, Sanjay (Ravi Kishan), owner of Sanjay Industries. The relationship between the two started off sour but later became romantic. Sanjay initially plans to finish off Murugan, when having found out his relationship with Kamalini. But, to his shock, he finds that Murugan looks exactly like one of his old enemies, Sangathamizhan (Vijay Sethupathi).

Many years earlier, Sangathamizhan and his family including his lover and cousin, Thenmozhi (Nivetha Pethuraj) stopped the launch of Sanjay’s copper factory in their village due to the toxic effects on the villagers caused by the waste from the factory. In retaliation, Sanjay killed Sangathamizhan and his family with the help of Kulandaivel (Ashutosh Rana), who is a fellow politician and the former best friend of Sangathamizhan's father (Nassar) during a festival. Now at the present, Sanjay strikes a deal with Murugan and asks him to act as Sangathamizhan so that he can help him to establish the copper factory in the village.

It is eventually later revealed that Murugan is actually Sangathamizhan, alive and well. He had survived the explosion that annihilated his family and is hell-bent on avenging their deaths by killing Sanjay. Sangathamizhan comes to Sanjay's base where he fights Sanjay and Kulandaivel, ultimately emerging successful. The film ends with the copper factory sealed shut by the court and in an interview with the press, he says that as long as all the villagers are united, anything is possible to achieve.
