Prasad lies because he needs money to fix his own problems. When Pooja contacts him from India desperate to escape her forced marriage and offers money to return to Paris, Prasad sees an opportunity.

Venky agrees because he genuinely loves Pooja and wants to help her escape her forced marriage to Bhadrappa.

Though Venky poses as Praneeth with a fake multimillion-dollar factory partnership, his intention is to rescue Pooja from a situation she clearly wants to escape.

Foreshadowing: The astrologer's warning that Venky will remain single forever if he doesn't marry within a month adds urgency to his willingness to take risks.
