Plot

Kokkisaamy (Karan) is a rugged but kindhearted orphan who works as a barber at his guardian's saloon in Chennai. He was released from prison a month before, after completing his seven-year punishment for killing a man who tried to harass a girl. When Kokki is set to go to Malaysia for his job, he is sent to Uppiliappan's (Kota Srinivasa Rao) house in order to get a haircut. That day, Uppili wakes up and accidentally sees Kokki's face instead of his favourite god's. As a coincidence, that day brings more fortune to Uppili's life. His astrologer thinks that it is the power of waking up to Kokki's face. The next day, Uppili's men want Kokki for a seven-year contract as they think the fortune will continue if Kokki is with them. But Kokki rejects the offer and tries to leave the city. A frustrated Uppili sends his goons to find Kokki, and they take his passports and other documents. Kokki files a complaint against Uppili at the police station, but the corrupt police inspector tries to frame Kokki for a crime that he did not commit. Kokki escapes from the station and hides inside a ladies' hostel that night.
