 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.
