What seems like a clever ruse, however, takes a deadly turn when DeSilva's cunning plan backfires and he meets an untimely demise, leaving Vijay to fend for himself in the treacherous world of crime. As DeSilva's demise is kept hidden from Vijay, the latter continues to play his role, gradually rising to the position of a trusted lieutenant in the crime boss's organization. With every move, Vijay becomes increasingly enmeshed in the web of deceit and corruption that surrounds the crime boss.
