Later, Johnson happens to watch Jayaram, a mimicry artist mimicking various celebrities’ voices and meets him, where he introduces himself as a government agent and asks him to mimic Madhava Menon’s voice by recording a bogus Republic Day message filled with fake promises. Later, Johnson uses the tape and replaces the other tape at All India Radio Station in Thiruvananthapuram, which shocks Madhava Menon where he is faced with severe criticism from the party members.

Jayaram confronts Johnson who reveals his past.

Due to this, his family commits suicide, including Renu, which devastates Johnson. After learning about his past, Jayaram decides to help Johnson in destroying Madhava Menon’s political career. They humiliate Madhava Menon’s character by broadcasting a televised message and stating outrageous comments regarding the unemployed youngsters (the visuals have been dubbed by Jayaram). The duo also thrust by swindling a large amount of money from a distress relief fund of Madhava Menon by using Menon’s mimicked voice. Johnson forces Madhava Menon to shoot him, which he does and Johnson dies. However, the murder is witnessed by the cops, leading to his political career being destroyed.
