Ashfaque (Ajay
Devgan) is a small
town boy aspiring to
be a film star in the
Hindi film industry.
He joins a street
theatre group run by a
reformed dacoit
Sidhu (Pankaj Kapur)
who uses street
theatre as a medium
to bring about an
awakening in the
masses. Ashfaque
struggles to give a
creative vent to the
actor in him in order
to realize his dreams.
Ashfaque’s
determined struggle
pays off and he gets a
break in films. He
gets a new screen
name – Sameer
Khan. With the
passage of time, the
roles start becoming
better and he moves
up the success ladder
in a very short time.
Soon, he becomes
Sameer Khan the
superstar – one who
can enact any role
with finesse, get under
the skin of any and
every character with
ease and walk away
with audience
applause.Sadly,
amidst all adulation
and applause, he
slowly loses his own
identity. He forgets
his real self and
imbibes all
characteristics of the
various roles essayed
by him on screen.
Corruption takes over
his entire system,
alienating him from all
loved ones, including
his wife Sneha (Vidya
Balan). A shocking
incident at a party
changes everything,
rocking Sameer
Khan’s lifestyle. He
gets caught between
his human self on one
side and his corrupted
superstar image on
the other.Whether the
conflict within him
gives way to good
sense and whether he
is able to discard his
corrupted image and
emerge as a true life
hero, becomes an
integral part of this
true life cinema.
