However it is not only from human but Bunty and his family is troubled by even from the supernatural powers. Three other she-devils have come from ‘Tikiri’s land to take away Supiri, as they believe he belongs to their world. Tikiri along with Supiri attempts to get rid of them by fighting using their supernatural powers.
Meanwhile ‘Bunty’ bumps into his old journalist friend ‘Lanty’ and explains the dilemma he is going through.
