In the ensuing struggle between the Collector and Deva/Surya, Surya learns that Arjun's mother is his mother too. Arjun (Arvind Swamy), posted as the new District Collector, plans to arrest both Deva and Surya, so that he could put an end to their brutal activities. But in the eyes of the Government, they are considered as antisocial elements. Both of them rule the town not only with their muscle but also with their sense of justice. Deva makes Surya his commander "Thalapathi". Surya too declares that he will be Deva's best friend till death. And from that glorious moment, Deva surrenders his ego and offers his hand of friendship. Surya himself is surprised to see Deva get him out from jail, and there he tells him nyayamnu onnu irrukku (there is such a thing as justice). However, when Deva discovers Ramana's offense, he decides to get Surya released from jail. Soon as his friend passes away, Surya then gets placed in prison. Devarajan's friend is beaten up terminally by Surya, and Deva threatens Surya that Surya will find himself in a dangerous situation if Deva's friend was laid to rest. These qualities lead him to cross swords with the local smuggler Devarajan (Mammootty). He grows into a fearless kind-hearted slum king who fights the injustice that takes place in town. Surya (Rajinikanth), is the abandoned child of a 14 year old unwed mother Kalyani (Srividya), is brought up by a generous lady living in slums. Cinematography of the film is handled by Santosh Sivan.
