Tilak is a spoiled, rich kid whose luxury lifestyle is wrecked when he must deliver a ransom. He is initially driven by wealth and status, but his circumstances force him into the eerie mansion. As the plot twists unfold, his worldview is challenged by the deceit surrounding the haunting and the conspiracy.

Amruta is Tilak's sister who pleads with their father but also conspires with Rohit in the hauntings. She leverages the Vaidehi legend to extract money from the family and other victims. Her role reveals how empathy can be weaponized in a calculated scheme.

Rohit appears mortally wounded while warning Tilak about an evil spirit, but is later revealed to be alive and part of the con. He uses the staged hauntings for personal gain and to manipulate perceptions, ultimately selling the house to investors. His apparent bravery masks a calculating willingness to exploit fear for profit.

Devaraj is a practical father who refuses to bail Tilak out, framing a moral boundary between duty and debt. His decision intensifies the ransom plot and pushes Tilak deeper into the haunted mansion. He becomes an unwitting participant in a larger con, or at least the gatekeeper who refuses to be manipulated.

Vaidehi is the ill-omened figure from the book whose story haunts the mansion. Her legacy is used to justify fear and to trap victims, creating a myth that sustains the con. The tragic past ties the present to the haunting, making the house a memory as much as a location.

A skeptical film crew arrives with a spiritual adviser and a device to measure ghost activity. They intend to capture proof and perhaps perform an exorcism at a more auspicious moment. As the story progresses, they become entangled in the con and the mysteries of Vaidehi.
