Veerendra Mallayya is actually Veeru, a Kannadiga street urchin who spoke little Malayalam. Years ago, Unnithan took him in and cared for him. When money belonging to Nagendran's father went missing during a dispute, Kuruppu tried to seize it and framed Veeru. Veeru fled after an attempt to protect Unnithan, who survived but became paralyzed. Mallayya reveals this painful past to Vasu, explaining how he was wrongly accused of theft.

Foreshadowing: Chandramohan casually mentions Veeru as a servant boy who attacked his father and ran away with money, hinting at the later revelation.
