The executives of the multinational mining company Nirvana Group inform Krishna Das Prithviraj Sukumaran that his ancestral property in Kerala, leased out to a nongovernmental organisation NGO by his late grandfather, is both rich in minerals and able to be sold because the lease period has expired. Nirvana Group offers him a large sum of money as an advance on the purchase. The NGO currently runs a tribal school on the property, which is situated inside the Kannadi Forest Range.

Kothuwal storms the burning ship to rescue his son, Kelu. Although Kelu escapes, Chirakkal Kothuwal is killed during the rescue attempt. ........
