Plot[edit]

Vineeth and his fiance Kasturi while romancing in Sri Lanka sees a murder which results in the
death of his fiance. He avenges her death by killing the people responsible, and becomes an
assassin, and is on the run from the police. He undergoes extensive plastic surgery on his face and
leaves for Chennai, India to start a new life with a new face and identity.

When the assassin (now played by Suresh Chandra Menon) reaches Chennai airport, he foils a
terrorist attempt and saves the lives of a group of children. Later, he meets Revathi, falls in love and
gets married. Thanks to his heroism, the assassin gets into the Indian Army and rises in rank as the
years go by.

A few years later, the couples grown up son, Vineeth, now resembles his father's pre-surgery days.
The son meets the dads old terrorist accomplices in the airport by chance on his return from U.S.A.
The bad guys identify him and, curious, they follow Vineeth and find the truth about the assassin and
his new life. As they learn that the assassin is now a very high ranked officer who has access to the
armys secrets, they blackmail him into handing some over to them.

Meanwhile the son goes for a vacation to Sri Lanka with his girl friend. There he comes to know
about the past life of his father, and hates him. On return to his homeland he tries to file a case on
him, which is stopped by his uncle Nasser.

The assassin, now a changed man, and realising that his son has discovered his past life, writes a
letter to his friend Nasser revealing everything, and goes to meet the terrorists alone. But instead of
army secrets, he brings an explosive device which detonates killing the terrorists and himself. With
only his wife not knowing the truth about a man who changed his ways and repented for it, the
assassin is hailed as a hero who died killing the terrorists. His wife is not informed about his past life
by his son as advised by uncle Nasser.
