As preparations for the launch gets underway, local police gives chase to Pradeep, which forces him to hide the bottle inside Salman's house, using his family friendship with Salman's wife, Haifa ([[Mariyam Azza]]) as a pretext. Pradeep's plan backfires When Haifa's mother-in-law accidentally adds Maamui into a drink she prepared for her lover.
