Meanwhile, Padma (Shobhana) falls in love with Bose as they eventually get married and have a daughter. Nalla Sreenu becomes a party president. Bose and his friend try to end Chinna and Nalla Sreenu's schemes and stop their crimes. Chinna kills Bose's friend when the latter and Bose kidnap Chinna. Eventually, Chinna kidnaps Bose's daughter.
