As luck would have it, Aarthy falls for him without knowing his true intentions. Dinesh too is attracted to Aarthy, but, true to his nature seizes the opportunity and shoots video clips of her private moments on his mobile phone and even circulates them among his friends via MMS. When Aarthy finds out, she is aghast and threatens to approach the police.
