In this situation Prime Minister received a secret letter in that it is mentioned as follows: Dear Prime Minister, except me the creator of the Viral Manithargal, no one can destroy my creations and do not waste your time.




If you wish to get rid of this stressing situation and avoid the war of Viral Manithargal, put Rs. 10 Crore worth golden bridges into the flight landing in Palam Airport at 10 AM, Wednesday.

If you try to block the flight over the air, not only Tamil Nadu, all over India, the Viral Manithargal (finger sized men) will spread and the consequences will be very dangerous. WARNING!!!! - Ranjan Bose (It is written like this).

High level Govt officers gathered in meeting to discuss whether they will be able to supply the demanded golden bridges and they have finalized to give. At the same time, a senior officer handing over this case to Minnal Mayaavi to capture the dangerous Ranjan Bose.

Unfortunately, the deceased does not know that Mayaavi’s body will disappear if Minnal rays touch him. Scientist Ranjan Bose saw this and said, there is a mistake in formula but that also turned for good only as it melted the complete body. He claimed that it is a success and it will be useful to eliminate the enemy in disappearance itself. When he saw Mayaavi’s fingers only moving, he was afraid and ran.
