Mahesh then befriends Uma Desai (Nivedita Joshi-Saraf), who is a journalist of Apradh Newspaper. Meanwhile, in the village of Shrirangpur, Maharashtra, Uma's cousin-brother Laxmikant Ghorpade aka Lakshya (Laxmikant Berde) is a young journalist of Jhunjaar Newspaper, which is suffering from bad sales due to its competiter Apradh. Everyone have hopes that Lakshya will help him increase the sales but he instead spends all of his time with his girlfriend Ganga (Priya Arun-Berde), who is the daughter of the arrogant policeman Constable 100 (Deepak Shirke) who disapproves of their relationship. To help everyone increase the sales, with the help of Ganga, Lakshya publishes a fake news that Taklu Haiwan's gang has terrorised Shrirangpur which angers Constable 100. His idea works and the newspaper gets good marketing, but Uma and Mahesh get transferred to the village to help the villagers. Mahesh discovers the truth and decides not to believe Lakshya anymore. However, after a few days, the two are shocked to learn that the gang has terrorised the village in real. Lakshya and Mahesh protect Shrirangpur from Taklu Haiwan.
