Later Datta is persuaded by a rich man (Srinath) who requests him to act like his son, so that his wife would recover from a bedridden sickness. This will be a plot by srinath to eliminate datta. Once his rivals finish datta who is enacting his son, he can bring back his original son and be assured of his safety.<br />
