However, a television news channel procures a copy and interviews him circling the events he had cited.

Rocky is also born on the day of the discovery in the Mysore region to a poor and widowed woman.

Suryavardhan, a local don who accompanied the officials, kills them.

Discerning the increasing demand for gold by the Cold War belligerents, Suryavardhan deceitfully sets up a company, Narachi, in that land, bought for a lease of 99 years under the pretext of mining limestone.

He has five associates, all of whom operate away from KGF: Kamal; the son of a former associate Bharghav, Andrews and Rajendra Desai - who oversee operations in the Konkan and Malabar Coast from Bangalore, Guru Pandian; a powerful politician and president of the DYSS party, and his brother Adheera.

Years later, he becomes Shettys right-hand man later and oversees gold bars arrival from Africa to the Bombay coast with an iron fist.

Rocky soon rises in strength and power, rivaling that of Shettys.

This attracts the attention of Andrews, who offers him, Bombay in return for assassinating Garuda, the elder son of Suryavardhan, who is to inherit KGF after his now paralyzed fathers passing.

Garudas ruthless way of functioning, aided by his commander Vanaram comes to the fore.

Once there, he witnesses the brutality that the slaves are subjected to.

Although apathetic at first, he is moved by an incident involving a cold-blooded killing of a mother and son at the hands of an overseer and the hope of slaves children that Rocky rises to liberate them.

Beginning his attempt to indicate to Desai and his men through their informants, Kulkarni and Garudas brother Virat, that he was still alive, Rocky engages in a fight with a unit of twenty-three overseers, killing each one of them to save a blind slave they were to kill brutally.

Rocky later orders to burn the twenty-three mens corpses in a huge blaze, warning Kulkarni and Virat that he was ready to kill Garuda, as discussed with them earlier.

The suspicious fire sends jeeps of his hitmen along with Garuda toward the mines from Garudas residence.

To immediately avert the hitmen from arriving in the mines and finding the slaves burning the overseers, Virat smothers father Suryavardhan, suffocating him to death to cause a huge diversion sidetrack Garuda, who rushes back home, giving Rocky and the slaves time to burn the overseers bodies.
