[2] A wedding advertisement of leading businesswoman Monika with a gentleman brings up a flurry of girls to the police, each one of them claiming the young groom in the picture to be their husband.

Produced before the court, he adopts the brilliant tactic of not denying the reality of any of the conjobs but just that he is not the man – "Naan Avan Illai" (I am not him), leaving even the Judge Sharada in a fix.

He introduces himself as a millionaire businessman based in London who flies the world on a regular basis and has all influential connections, and Rekha soon falls head over heels over him when he offers to promote her dream acting career.

She easily falls for his charms and later gets to hear from a call on his cell phone that he is actually a scion of the Travancore royal family and is out from home to escape a marriage he does not like.

Monika is a billionaire businesswoman and a divorcee who happens to hire a young man who calls himself Shyam Prasad as her marketing manager.

Throughout the court proceedings, Annamalai defends his case brilliantly by repeatedly pinpointing that every one of the crimes narrated by the women could be true and the person who committed it might look like himself, but it just happens that he is not the man – "Naan Avan Illai" (I am not him).

However this turns useless as "Annamalai" resorts to his usual "Naan Avan Illai" and Thambidurai too cannot bring any evidence to pin the man in flesh and blood.

As narrated by him, "Annamalai" is actually Joseph Fernandez, an intelligent student who, due to bad influences, takes the easy way out by becoming a fraud and trickster.

Meanwhile, Sharada's own daughter Anjali is surprised at the developments as she too had been conned by the man, but only of some money, faking a painting by posing as an acclaimed artist Zakir Hussain.

A law student herself, Anjali quite clearly sees through "Annamalai"'s schemes but is impressed by his brilliant performance in court, and like Monika, wishes him to be acquitted.

At the end of the hearing, Justice Sharada is inevitably forced to acquit "Annamalai" for lack of evidence, but the girls he cheated are waiting with drawn daggers for him.
