Hero

Dharmarajan, an action choreographer running a combat academy, is short on money for his daughter's marriage. He travels to meet his old student Aadhityan, one of Malayalam cinema's top directors, hoping for work. Aadhityan offers him a chance to take part in a film but asks for help from his own students, though none step forward.

Dharmarajan visits his favourite student Tarzan Antony, who had left him due to personal issues. Antony agrees to help and returns to the project, stepping back into the world of filmmaking. This marks the start of his involvement on the film set.

On the set, Antony encounters Superstar Premanand, the Home Minister's son, and Gowri Menon, one of the top actors. Premanand is desperate to have a hit film to erase his flop reputation and leans on Aadhityan's project for a success. Gowri keeps her distance, wary of Premanand's self-promoting arrogance.

Premanand's anxiety about his career drives him to push for a blockbuster. He collaborates with Aadhityan to ensure the project has high visibility and box-office potential. His involvement sets up the personal rivalries that drive the story.

Premanand tries to win Gowri's favor with his swagger and self-promotion. Gowri feigns ignorance and keeps her distance, not impressed by his arrogance. This tension fuels the dynamic between them.

Antony's steadfast dedication to his work catches Gowri's attention and earns her respect. She sees his skill, discipline, and humility behind the scenes. Their professional bond gradually deepens into a personal affection.

The film is released and becomes a hit at the box office. The audience applauds Premanand for the action sequences while Gowri, Aadhityan, and the crew commend Antony for his on-screen work. The mystery of the lead actor behind the scenes remains unresolved for the audience.

As the success continues, Gowri and Antony fall in love. Their budding romance contrasts with the film industry's politics. The couple keeps their relationship discreet but grows closer.

Feeling blocked by Antony as a rival, Premanand decides to destroy him as the obstacle to Gowri. He schemes to remove Antony from the project and regain control. The behind-the-scenes conflict intensifies as the plan takes shape.

Aadhityan reveals his next project with the same cast and crew, signaling a shift in power within the team. The announcement foreshadows the rivals' ongoing fight for control. Premanand's influence is challenged as Antony rises to center stage.

Premanand attempts to push Antony out of the project, but Aadhityan counters by removing Premanand and naming Antony as the lead. The power shift solidifies Antony's status and unsettles Premanand further. The team reconfigures around Antony as the new front-runner.

Enraged by the setback, Premanand plots to kill Antony, but ends up killing Antony's father Thankachan. The tragedy raises the stakes and fuels Antony's resolve for vengeance and justice. The personal loss intensifies the conflict between the rivals.

Aadhityan advises Antony to step back and let the situation cool for a while. This pause gives Antony time to reflect, regroup, and prepare for the challenges ahead. It marks a turning point before the film's grand climax.

After the shoots wrap and the film is released, Antony tracks down Premanand at his hideout and defeats him, along with Gowri Menon and Eldho. The victory cements Antony as the new hero of the industry and the film becomes a blockbuster. The industry finally recognizes the true lead.

With the dust settled, Antony and Gowri openly declare their love and embrace their new status in both life and cinema. The couple's happiness mirrors the film's blockbuster success. The story ends on a note of personal and professional triumph.
