Viduthalai Part 2
DSP Sunil Menon interrogates the recently arrested Perumal "Vaathiyaar". Meanwhile, constable Kumaresan is suspended by Ragavendar on loose grounds for disobeying superior's orders and for not replying to a reprimand memo. He is also denied credit for apprehending and arresting Perumal. When Kumaresan is just about to leave to his village with the traumatised Tamilarasi, he is called back to duty by Sunil to be the driver for escorting Perumal through the jungle to safer place. Along the way, Perumal narrates his story and reveals his transformation from a school teacher to an empathetic revolutionary leader. The process of Perumal's transformation is due to the death of a farm labourer named Karuppan and his wife. Karuppan was a young man from an oppressed community, who worked as a farm labourer under a cruel landlord. After his fiancée Maari was held captive and sexually harassed by the landlord, Karuppan and his friends stormed the landlord's house to rescue his fiancée.
