His opponent in college, Unnikrishnan (Sudheesh), son of a dead Brahmin priest is also good at singing.
Unnikrishnan wins a musical competition at college which makes him sing at the famous Chembai Sangeethotsavam, but in a mistake of identities, Sulaiman makes it to the musical gala. He becomes famous among the people due to his singing that the viewers begin to appreciate him a lot.
