Narrating the story that Nelson told him, he added, "Mohanlal is a gangster in Bombay who works in a 1950s-like building. He runs a leather export company as a coverup in South Bombay, while the other illegal businesses are done away from the public eye. In the end, when Rajinikanth is taken away and given the gun, the place is full of leather items, open that place, and you will find a secret passage where the guns are kept."
