==Plot==<br />
{{more plot|date=September 2020}}<br />
Kunjalikutty(Siddique), who is a Muslim gets both a visa to [[Dubai]] and a job offer at a school managed by his father's friend, Malappuram Hajiyar in [[Malappuram]] at the same time. His father refuses to let him go to Dubai and wants him to take the teaching job. So Kunjalikutty sends his friend Joji(Mukesh) a handsome and well-educated [[Hindu]], in his place to the school, and goes to Dubai without his parents knowledge.<br />
<br />
Malappuram Hajiyar(Madhu) is a bold and religious man having a huge public appeal, with no tolerance towards deception. Thus people approach him with awe. Hajiyar's code of conduct scares Joji to the core that he has to conceal his own identity while living as Kunjalikkutty's impostor. A hilariously hostile relationship develops between Joji and Aliyar([[Jagathy Sreekumar]]), who is the physical education teacher, and later, Joji's roommate. Joji soon gets into the good books of Hajiyar, while Aliyar remains stuck in the rut of being too slack for a teacher, for instance, coming late for the school.<br />
<br />
Things do not go easy for Joji. He nearly blew his cover at times, which triggers Aliyar's suspicion. On one such occasion, he is accidentally confronted by Gouri(Maathu), who hails from a reputed Hindu family, when he goes to the temple and is caught by her and the priest([[Indrans]]). The story enters a serious turn, when Kunjalikutty shows up, telling Joji that he has become a victim of a [[Visa fraud|visa scam]] run by Jafer Khan, who now targets Kunjalikutty for extermination.<br />
<br />
Unable to face his own strict father, while avoiding Jafer Khan's goons, Kunjalikutty decides to stay with Joji, as Joji. Thus Kunjalikutty and Joji lives together with Aliyar, under swapped identities. Aliyar, who cannot stand Joji further, becomes desperate to get into the bottom of things.<br />
