During that plight, a nurse Sarada guides him who aims to forward in Krishna's footsteps, and joins as a doctor in his hospital. Initially, Vijay faces the music which he thresholds and craves himself as an amicable. Anyhow, he calls for something else about the ideologies of Krishna when Sarada notifies him about his diary.
