Right systematically eliminates each boss through calculated revenge. First, he kills Vamsi by abducting him on a boat and disposing of his body at sea. Then, his men bury Nanjunda's six boys alive. Finally, Right confronts Nanjunda directly at his house, seizes a sword, and beheads him.

Foreshadowing: Each elimination builds on the previous one, culminating in Nanjunda's beheading.

Right becomes the new underworld king because he successfully eliminates all three existing crime bosses through a combination of strategic planning and brutal violence. Unlike Nanjunda, Vamsi, and Maaran who relied on their territories and existing empires, Right operates more decisively, targeting each boss personally. His reformation from a businessman back into a ruthless enforcer allows him to fill the power vacuum left by their deaths.

Foreshadowing: Right's violent capabilities were hinted at from the moment he defeated Nanjunda's men in 17 seconds.

Additionally, Nanjunda's men are directly responsible for the brutal assault on Sithara, whom Right has grown close to. These personal attacks combined with professional rivalry drive Right's quest for vengeance.
