Incompatible Goals: The aim of Rashid and Vishnu was same - that of making money. Although in case of Vishnu, it was more due to ego and want of power while Rashid wanted to do illegal deeds to make profits. 'Sarkar', on the other hand, had sole
motive to do social work. So the two contradictory goals created conflicts but in the end the noble intent won.

Different Values & Beliefs: Vishnu had the belief that if one had power, it should be used to grow anyhow, but 'Sarkar' considered power as unity. So the two different set of beliefs led to conflict. However, to manage the conflicts, 'Sarkar' employed negotiation that was quite one-sided. He asked Vishnu to leave the home and that's how conflict changed into war.

Networking

'Sarkar' had a huge network with the big people of his field. He even had good relations with the Chief Minister and Commissioner of Police. Though it was all political and they did not help him in difficult times, but his team itself was a huge network in itself.

Ego, Id Ego

In Freud's theory, the ego mediates among the id, the super-ego and the external world. It's task is to find a balance between primitive drives, morals, and reality while satisfying the id and super-ego. It's main concern is with the individual's safety and allows some of the id's desires to be expressed, but only when consequences of these actions are marginal. Ego Defense Mechanism is often used by the ego when id behavior conflicts with reality and either society's morals, norms, and taboos or the individual's expectations as a result of the internalization of these morals, norms, and taboos. Like when Vishnu kills the actor, he gives the rational for that act, which was not true. Also the act was against the social ethics, but to prove that he was right, he himself constantly argued.

Also Vishnu is the victim of id ego . The id is responsible for our basic drives such as food, sex and aggressive impulses, and demands immediate satisfaction. It is amoral and ego-centric, ruled by the pleasure-pain principle; it is without a sense of time, completely illogical, primarily sexual, infantile in its emotional development, will not take 'no' for an answer, is without verbal representation and, therefore, does not enter consciousness. It is regarded as the reservoir of the libido or "love energy". Vishnu was driven by id and that's why he killed the actor that led him to leave the home. He even tried to kill his own father in the influence of others, and that too happened due to the consequences of his id.
