In this backdrop, the hero, serving as a cop, enters the fray. The trailer highlights that he is not only a government servant but also a brilliant footballer with dreams of going to London and becoming a world champion.

Yet, troubles arise in Bairanpally, leaving viewers curious about the hero’s mission there and whether he succeeds.
