Vijaya) wanted Senthil to marry his paternal aunt, Akhilandeshwari' eldest daughter Priya (Malavika) to reunite the two families after 30 years of separation.

However he marries Kasturi. Saravanan learns that they have bought the Vettayapuram Palace, despite a fear of the place and attempts by the elders to dissuade them. Saravanan moves in with them. Akhilandeshwari is jealous of Saravanan and with her assistant, (Sonu Sood) she tries to destroy Saravanan.
