Somewhere, the suspicious-looking Jagapathi Babu, who has all along come across as a villager needing Kumar's help to wipe out a tiger, reveals at the interval bang that he is Daddy Girija, the purported villain of the piece. Kumar willingly joins the efforts to harvest 'ganjai' for the company so his brother can land a plum job. Interspersed with these two tracks is the sub-plot of a pharma company's attempt to own the forbidden 'ganjai' avowedly to make an anti-cancer drug. When he is not putting up a physical and moral fight against tigers and wildfire protection laws, Kumar leads the life of a normal family man, complete with youthful romance with wife Myna (Kamalinee Mukherjee), booz-filled bromance with his 'bava' and the bro, and occasional reciprocation of Julie's (Namitha) pining for his machismo.

His hunger for killing murderous tigers far exceeds the appetite of the dreaded beasts to hunt down human flesh.

Never the one to rest when a tiger threatens human lives, he had avenged the killing of his father even as a child by adventurously and methodically snuffing out a ferocious tiger. Kumar (Mohanlal) is that heroic tiger-hunter whom the people dwelling in the villages around a dense forest regard as their saviour. 'Manyam Puli', the dubbed version of 'Pulimurugan', is an action adventure film.
