Venkata Ratnam is the fierce chieftain of the village who won't hesitate to exploit or harm women.

Ratnam also bribes Sundaram's friends to control Seenu and increase pressure on him.

Foreshadowing: The prophecy itself makes Sundaram a target, as his friends fear Ratnam's reaction to any reckless behavior.
