Gowri gives him the cold shoulder and helping her keep Lucky at an arm's length is her pug dog Zoo Zoo. Gowri is compelled to resign from her job and takes over as a creative head of an AD company. Lucky arrives for a job interview at the company, but he learns that Gowri will be handling the interview and would not let him get a job at her workplace.

With the help of his friend Anand alias "420", Lucky takes on a different identity as Vicky, where he changes himself with new wardrobe and hairstyle. Vicky builds a rapport with Gowri and proposes to her, but learns that she is in love with Lucky. Vicky tries to prove that he is Lucky, but to no avail as 420 had already destroyed all the things linked to Lucky on his own advice. Gowri strongly tells Vicky that if he was Lucky, Zoo Zoo would have chased him out.

Vicky resigns from the job and later turns up dressed as Lucky. Gowri still rejects him saying she has started adoring Vicky, but later she confesses to Zoo Zoo that she knows that Lucky and Vicky are the same person and that she is rejecting him as she does not want Zoo Zoo to feel abandoned.
