He meets a girl named Anjali. She ends up appreciating his kindness, and they fall in love. Vishwa has a girlfriend named Priya, with whom he secretly develops an intimate relationship. However, Vishwa and Priya's relationship is objected to by Priya's father PVR, a business magnate. Kashi tries to convince PVR, but the former is humiliated by the latter. Vishwa and Priya elope and plan to marry. After knowing about this, PVR's brother Satya and his nephew Hari kill Vishwa on the way to their wedding and take Priya away with them. Kashi gets devastated by seeing Vishwa brutally murdered.

After Vishwa's death, Kashi learns that Priya is pregnant with Vishwa's child and becomes happy that Vishwa will be coming back as his nephew. However, PVR attempts to kill the child before birth, but Kashi challenges him, saying the child will touch the earth. In order to accomplish Kashi's vengeance, Chamak lal Settu, PVR's enemy helps him turn into a gangster. With the help of Anjali, Kashi overcomes all hurdles put forth by PVR and manages to protect Priya to allow for the safe birth of his brother's child.
