Meanwhile, the debt-ridden channel’s boss Karunakaran tries to commits suicide and requests Karthik and Billa to find a way to get the channel to the top position and increase their overall TRP. The duo hits upon the idea of uniting lovers facing parental opposition through a reality show, but they fake the whole thing with Koothu actors.
