Meanwhile, Maruti stands bewildered when he sees Vali struggle to remove his hands from the rock. Initially, Maruti's friends assure him that Vali is capable of removing the hand by himself. But after seeing Vali struggle for a long while, Maruti finally comes to his rescue. To Vali's relief, Maruti picks up the rock with ease and hurls it away.
