Suddenly, the television starts playing the Aatagara show; everyone gets shocked after learning that the participants mentioned by the host of the channel are all different from those who are there on this island.

The contestants sees the Ravana statue which contains only six heads, implying that Jay, Sakshi, Mallika, KP, Chetan and Sandhya will be the next persons to die.

They search Chetan's suitcase to check if they can find a gun to break open the control room to communicate with the channel host.

They find a gun and break open the lock of the control room, where a judge meets them through a live webcam that the contestants have committed crimes, but have escaped from the law by showing false evidences that they were innocent.

At the same time, Inspector Ravi receives a letter from the judge, showing proof that the contestants sent to the island had committed crimes earlier.

[13] However, K. M. Chaitanya cleared the air saying that both the films were based on Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None, which was about ten characters stranded on an uninhabited island.

[14] However, questions were raised to similarity between the sudden introduction of the mastermind in the basement of the secret room in Kannada and Tamil versions in spite of the character being anonymous and not making an appearance in the novel.

It was also argued that instead of ten faces of Raavana, the team could have tweaked it to Dashavatar with metaphoric reference, but did not do so as it was straight away taken from Aduthathu.
