Ganapa and Down-to-Earth sneak into Sangeetha's house where they hand her a phone and tells her that they will contact Shankar. Shankar gets enraged after learning about the incident. Sangeetha calls Shankar and tells her to take her away from her mother, Shankar agrees and challenges Premakumari that he will marry Sangeetha in her presence.
