His story is about the repercussions of his traumatic experience and how he finds help to get out of it. The film has such few more stories which will feature, K.K Menon, Mahesh Bhatt and more.

"Another great thing about this movie is that the characters are linked to each other in some or the other way. The way the film is written is amazing and I really enjoyed working with the director. The content is very new, different and I feel it is a modern film about today's times."
