He breaks his own statue, admonishing the crowd about trusting in God-men. Krishna explains to Kanji that his job as God is to show people right and wrong - people do with it what they will. Leeladhar, Gopi Maiyya, and Siddheshwar have taken advantage of this by opening a temple dedicated to Kanji and accumulating millions in donations. Kanji learns that the lawsuit's verdict was in his favor and religious organizations were ordered by the court to pay the compensation to all the plaintiffs people have begun revering Kanji himself as a god. He figured out that an atheist like Kanji would end up exposing them if he destroys his Shop, and thus destroyed it by causing the disaster and started to help him with lawsuit by appearing as a human and befriending him, and revealed himself in his true form so that Kanji realises that although he does exist, he doesn't live in temples, but in every creature he created. Instead, he created millions of humans who die of hunger and would be glad if those offerings were given to them instead. He adds that he created the entire world and thus doesn't like to live in temples contrary to what the godmen claims and he is not interested in the offerings he gets from devotees. He further reveals that He created the entire world, animals and humans but religion was created by humans, and he was the one who destroyed Kanji's shop because he sought to punish the godmen who showed his fear to the public, to earn money. When he opens his eyes after a month, he finds Krishna, who reveals that he is God, and proves it by curing Kanji completely. However, Kanji suffers a stroke in court and is rushed to the hospital where he goes into a coma and is paralyzed. This strengthens his case and increases public support. Kanji reads them and finds a passage in each that says the world and all that happen in it, from beginning to end, is a creation of God and comes from God's will alone. When the court demands written proof that the earthquake was an 'Act of God,' Krishna steers Kanji toward holy books like Bhagavad Gita, The Quran and The Bible.
Many people in a similar situation join him in the lawsuit, causing the amount of claims to skyrocket and Catholic priests and Muslim Mullahs to also be summoned as defendants. On Krishna's advice, Kanji goes to the media and gets wide coverage.

Running out of options, he decides to sue God but fails to find a lawyer for such a lawsuit. His family and friends blame this on his atheism.Īt the insurance office, Kanji learns that the disaster claim does not cover any damage caused by natural calamities classified under " Act of God".
