 Innumerable twists and turns The first part of the film culminates with Arulmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) and Vallavarayan Vanthiyathevan (Karthi) getting stuck in a storm in the sea. Since the first part only covered two books from the five-part novel penned by Kalki, the second instalment will cover a vast portion of the novel (the remaining three books, with the last one being an expansive work). This means there will be many twists and turns in store in a limited span of time.

Deaths, deceits, big reveals and more
As Kalki's novel progresses, the author drops many intriguing elements and surprises, some of which come as a rude shock. The vaal nakshatram prediction indeed comes true and a royal bloodline loses someone very crucial to the throne and the entire Chola kingdom is in a state of shock. There are many more deaths, deceits and big reveals packed in the film that will have you on the edge of your seat.
