Shortkut - The Con Is On (2009)

In the glitzy realm of Bollywood, Shekhar Giriraj, a diligent assistant director and hopeful writer, extends a helping hand to his friend, Rajesh Kumar, offering him shelter in his humble Chawl room after Rajesh faces the harsh sting of dismissal by renowned Film Director, Ghosh. As the dust of this turmoil settles, Shekhar, fueled by ambition, parts ways with his job, breathes life into his creative spirit by penning a movie script, and secures a financial lifeline from the influential V.C. Chhadha. As he embarks on the journey of assembling a team for his dream project, Shekhar's world implodes when Rajesh betrays him, stealing credit for his laboriously crafted script. Amidst this maelstrom, Mansi, Shekhar's beloved and Bollywood's reigning diva, breaks free from the chains of her oppressive family, announcing her plans to live with Shekhar to the world. Faced with unemployment, the societal pressure of marrying Mansi, and the bitter taste of betrayal, Shekhar spirals into a destructive cycle of neglect, alcoholism, and self-annihilation. This downward spiral pushes Mansi to her breaking point, compelling her to abandon Shekhar in his darkest hour. The tale is a riveting whirlwind of ambition, love, betrayal, and redemption set against the dazzling backdrop of Bollywood.
