The film's story revolves around a man who sets out to take vengeance against a drug mafia after they take away an eight-year-old girl with whom he shares a special bond. Shruti Haasan plays Abraham's wife in the film and a beautiful song called "Rehnuma" was shot on the beaches of the Seychelles which sets the romance in motion.
Great Grand Masti

Great Grand Masti is an adult comedy film and although it sees Ritesh, Aftab and Vivek take the lead roles it is not a sequel of Masti which was based on the life of three bachelors who end up getting married but hate their married lives and decide to have an affair but are framed for murder. By the end of the film they realize how much they love their wives. Grand Masti was also about three men who hate their wives and we watch their comedic trails as they try and support the demands of someone who is blackmailing them. We can only imagine that Great Grand Masti will also make us laugh along the way.
