Sameera lies to him that she has a lover which made Casanovva jealous. Casanovva is surprised by Sameera’s nature and realize that she is different from other women with whom he had relations. Then he kills her boyfriend, who was actually Nehyatinkara Gopan. Gradually Casanovva understands that he has some different feeling for Sameera than other women(naughty noises). He realises that he is attracted with her. She also has other intentions with Casanovva. But her father requests Casanovva to leave his daughter, because neyyatinkara gopan turns out to be casanovva himself, both played by A10. He replies that he was in love with his own daughter. Casanovva calls Sameera for a meeting to reveal his love to her. On the day, at A Big Fair in Dubai, Sameera wears a mask to give Casanovva a surprise.

The four robbers escape and Sameera is caught by the police. And one of the robber shoots Sameera and she dies at the spot. Casanovva waits for her and returns to his room depressed. On the way, he sees the four robbers escaping in a car. But at that time he had no idea about the incident that had happened. He is informed of the death of Sameera by TV news in his room. He rushes to the police to tell about the robbers. But they don’t listen to Casanovva. Here ends the Flashback.
He says to Hanna that the aim of the reality show was to make the robbers understand about the feeling of love. He then captures the robbers and makes them explain that Sameera was not their gang member to public through the TV show and tell them that gopan neyyatinkara and casanovva are different persons. Thus Casanovva succeeds in showing the innocence of his lover Sameera to the public and police. Then he asks the robbers who killed Sameera. They reveals that it was nobody else than Thanos. Thanos reveals that he killed Sameera and when she got arrested he thought that she was one of his gang and she will reveal their plan to the police. Soon after, revealing the truth the police arrives at the place. Thanos runs away with infinity stones and Casanova follows him.
