From his hideaway in Bangkok, underworld don Shakti Pillai
is wreaking havoc amongst India’s wealthy. He is successfully
using modern means to extort money from billionaires while
continuing to take on contract killings for anyone willing to
pay the price. Fed up with the inability of the police to stop
the don, a few business magnates pool their crores together
to pay a mercenary to get rid of Pillai. The assassin they pick
is the best in the game—someone who goes by the name of
Venus.
Pillai has made enemies in other places though. And as Venus
makes her way to Bangkok to carry out the job, there are
other plans being concocted to get the most-wanted man in
India. A ruthless police inspector, Pillai’s former mentor in the
underworld and a former IPS officer determined to salvage his
career are all out to capture the don. They all have something
to prove, and as they converge in Bangkok to hunt down Pillai,
a thrilling cat and mouse game ensues. Who will win?
