Anbu, who works as a supervisor in the company helps Anandhi to get a job in the same company. Due to a misunderstanding, Anandhi hates Anbu.

Anbu decides to approach Anandhi in a different way using a pseudonym "Azhagan" and gifted Anandhi's favourite bicycle to her with a courier. Now Anandhi gets curious to meet Azhagan and starts falling in love with him though she never knew who Azhagan is.

Anbu gets constantly humilated by Anandhi, so he never reveals that he is Azhagan to her. But soon Anandhi learns about the good nature of Anbu and apologizes to him for her misunderstanding. Now Anbu and Anandhi become friends but still Anbu hesitates to reveal to her that he is Azhagan. Meanwhile, Mahesh (CEO of garments company) also develops romantic feelings for Anandhi, but feels hesitant to confess his love to her.

Mithra, Mahesh's childhood friend who had loved Mahesh for a long time became the nemesis of Anandhi and stays with her in the same hostel. Mithra learns about "Azhagan" and asks her college friend Nandha to join the garments company to convince Anandhi to believe that he is "Azhagan". Finally Nandha gets exposed and arrested.
