Maanav Khurana, a famous actor known as a leading man in
action films, arrives at
Mandothi, Haryana for his film shoot. Vicky Solanki, an aspiring politician currently contesting the local elections, wants to meet Maanav to gain publicity. Due to the busy shooting schedule, Maanav does not pay attention. When Maanav is finally about to meet Vicky, he gets distracted by the delivery of his brand new
Ford Mustang and goes for a long drive. Enraged, Vicky chases him by car and manhandles him, but Maanav pushes him away and Vicky inadvertently dies from
blunt trauma on the spot, after landing headfirst on a rock. Frightened, Maanav flees failing to realize that he is leaving behind a broken side mirror as evidence for the police who later find Vicky’s body. Unbeknownst to Maanav, Vicky's brother Bhoora Solanki, swears in front of a huge gathering of his family and friends that he will avenge his brother's death, and starts his own ‘personal mission’ to hunt him down. The
Haryana police conclude the role of Maanav in Vicky's murder citing the side mirror of Maanav's new Mustang. Maanav's reputation is marred, and the media fans the flames of outrage against him, who was up until now, a much-loved action hero. Maanav flees to the house he owns in
Portsmouth,
England. The news reaches England as well and Maanav is forced into hiding. Bhoora learns everything from his henchman and flies to England. In a bizarre twist, Bhoora who is on a hunt for Maanav, kills two police officers who were responding to a call right in front of Maanav's home. Maanav, who did not commit the crime, is now a possible suspect. He is forced to flee the crime scene he himself witnessed. He tries to seek help from his British lawyer, who does not respond. During his attempt to escape, Maanav's car runs out of gas and Bhoora snatches a stranger's car and catches up to him. Maanav tries to explain his innocence, but Bhoora does not listen and is hell bent on revenge. Maanav manages to overpower and lock Bhoora in the car's trunk. This starts the first in a series of so many darkly comic situations later, in which the actor is forced by a desperate need, to physically fight and save himself like 'an action hero'. Upon pressuring his manager Roshan for help, Maanav gets to meet Sai, a lawyer and fixer, for capturing potential footage of Bhoora killing the two police officers. Sai tells Maanav to meet his illegal hacker contact in
London for collecting the footage. Unbeknownst to Maanav, he also asks his friend Kaadir to catch Maanav, knowing that he is a ‘prize-catch’ on the run and can be turned in for a huge monetary reward. Meanwhile, Bhoora escapes with the help of a tow-truck, follows and kills Sai who merely happened to be between him and his hunt. Bhoora tries to kill Maanav also, but in a darkly comic situation he is intercepted by Sai's friend Kaadir (coming for the prize catch). Maanav has no idea why he is being saved by Kaadir. Another fight sequence emerges in which Maanav is forced to improvise his action-movie fighting skills. Maanav gets into his car and flees again, leaving Bhoora behind. Bhoora once again manages to learn about Maanav's whereabouts, this time from Kaadir as a hostage, after which he kills Kaadir. Maanav gets hold of the footage from the illegal hacker. Being fed up running from the British police, he decides to surrender himself knowing that he now has the proof procured from the dashcams nearby his house in Portsmouth. He hopes to prove that he was not responsible for the murders. In a darkly comic situation, just as he was kneeling down with his arms raised up, right in front of the Police Commissioner's office, he is suddenly abducted by strangers in a speeding van. The kidnappers turn out to be henchmen of Masood Abraham Katkar, a much-feared terrorist who escaped from India a long time ago. He is taken by the kidnappers to a rooftop, where Katkar explains his own purpose of abducting him. In a bizarre situation, a smiling Katkar takes a photograph with Maanav and posts it on social media; the photo goes viral. The media once again gets outraged against the once revered ‘action hero’. Katkar is planning to paint a picture that he hired Maanav. In another darkly comic situation, against his own wishes, Maanav, is forced to perform a dance, to the famous and bubbly tunes of
Aap Jaisa Koi at the opulent Katkar family wedding. Bhoora, still looking for Maanav, manages to enter the hotel and disrupt Maanav's performance, only to be held at gunpoint by Katkar's men. After an interrogation, Katkar advises Bhoora to kill Maanav. Just as Bhoora is about to shoot, Maanav deflects him and Katkar gets killed dead in the skirmish. Katkar's men are alerted and arrive to kill them both. Maanav and Bhoora manage to defeat Katkar's men before turning on each other. With his newfound action skills, Maanav defeats and wounds Bhoora and tries to reason with Bhoora explaining that Vicky's death was an accident. Bhoora refuses to spare him out of ego despite being aware of his innocence. Out of choices, Maanav abruptly kills Bhoora, using his movie star fighting skills one last time. Maanav quietly realizes that India's much wanted terrorist, Katkar, has just been killed. Thinking quickly, he formulates a plan to project a story that the government used Maanav's situation and secretly assigned him on an
operation, and that Katkar was killed in the secret government operation by government security forces. This instantly turns his status from being a criminal to a hero. The public perception about him abruptly changes. The same loud-mouthed hosts on the TV are now showering praises on the action hero and the news spreads. The officer at the embassy who supposedly ‘arranged the secret operation’ receives an award from the government. Maanav returns to India, waving to his adoring fans outside the
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport ==Cast==
