==Plot== Johnson is a technically skilled person who plots to assassinate the Chief Minister Madhava Menon by using a radio-operated car. But the plan gets botched due to unforeseen circumstances. Later, Johnson happens to watch Jayaram, a mimicry artist mimicking various celebrities' voices and meets him, where he introduces himself as a government agent and asks him to mimic Madhava Menon's voice by recording a bogus Republic Day message filled with fake promises. Later, Johnson uses the tape and replaces the other tape at All India Radio Station in Thiruvananthapuram, which shocks Madhava Menon where he is faced with severe criticism from the party members. Madhava Menon asks his friend, DIG K. Gopalakrishnan Pillai, to investigate the case and nab the suspect. While investigating, Pillai suspects foul play while hearing the broadcast. Jayaram confronts Johnson who reveals his past.
