Conflicts and power struggles occur in the smuggling world, in which Velu's wife becomes a casualty. He marries a destitute school-girl-turned-prostitute (Saranya) and has two children.
As their godfather and protector, he flourishes by resuming his late foster-father's local smuggling activities. With this act, he is seen as a saviour and a man to be feared amongst the slum residents. As an act of remorse over his guilt, he decides to adopt Kelkar's mentally-challenged son and raise him as his own. Velu Naiker, now a young man who has come into his own, goes in search of the officer and bludgeons him to death for as revenge. Upon his running afoul of a senior crime lord, the corrupt local police officer named Kelkar, arrests the fisherman on smuggling charges and subsequently murders him. His foster-father is also a small-time smuggler known for his generosity in the slum. Stranded and homeless in the big city, he is rescued by a kind-hearted Muslim fisherman who takes him into his home in the suburban slums of Dharavi.
After doing the final death rites of his father, he kills the person who was the cause for his father's death and escapes to Bombay. The child, Velu, is tricked by the police into locating his father, and then witnesses his father's death in a police shootout. Sakthivelu Nayakar (Kamal Haasan) is born to an anti-government union leader.
