Guru, working as a pizza delivery boy, catches and beats JP. Guru then surrenders himself to the police to escape from JP, though he tells the police about JP. Guru comes to JP and tells that JP's lover, who was cheated by him, has uploaded the rape video of Priya by him. Guru ties and beats JP and cries for Priya's death. However, Deva beats Guru and JP breaks his hands. Finally, in the climax (inspired from an English movie ''
