At this time, Pillai (Innocent) came to meet Geetu and tell her that they are looking for some stage artist for their upcoming temple festival programs at their village, Puthukotta. Many stage artist rejects their invitation to perform at Puthukotta because they think Puthukotta is a dangerous place due to ongoing conflict between two families, Madassery and Palathara. Anitha and Sumathi suggest to invite Girish and Satish for a Kadhaprasangam show. Both girls knew about the danger and wanted to trap Kadhaprasangam artists. Artists agree to perform at Puthukotta without knowing about the ongoing conflict.
