Now, a connection develops between the individuals whose lives had not been connected in any way till then. Raihan succumbs to injuries in the hospital. Now, the heart becomes the precious asset for doctors who need it for heart transplantation. The heart is meant for transplantation for the actor’s daughter. The strange coincidence is that Vineeth Sreenivasan had been on his way to meet the actor, before he met with the accident and succumbed to fatal injuries.
