Synopsis

Brash young movie director Siddharth (Arjun Rampal) coaxes fabled Shakespearean stage actor Harish “Harry” Mishra (Amitabh Bachchan) out of retirement to do a film, only to discover the charismatic old man is on a mission to prove how theater is superior to cinema in every way. Soon, Harry’s fellow thespians are taking their cues from him, but his participation in the production ultimately requires more than he bargained for.
