In the vibrant city of Mumbai, the year 1988 marks a significant turning point. Varadarajan Mudaliar, the undisputed King of Dharavi, Asia's largest slum, draws his final breath. His passing leaves a power vacuum, igniting a violent spree from rival factions, eager to claim his territory. Amidst this chaos emerges Anna (Satyaraj), a determined protector who assumes the mantle of safeguarding Varadarajan's empire, while ensuring his son Vishwa (Vijay) grows up far away from this disarray, in the serene landscapes of Australia. Vishwa, a charismatic dancer, leads a tranquil life in Australia, blissfully unaware of his father's tumultuous legacy. His life takes a romantic turn as he falls for the enchanting Meera (Amala Paul). Their love story seems idyllic until a visit to India for discussing their marital alliance unravels a web of shocking revelations. Vishwa discovers Meera's true identity as a Mumbai cop, who had been feigning love to uncover details about his father's whereabouts. Upon landing in Mumbai, a city that hums with secrets and violence, Vishwa stumbles upon his father's shadowy past. He learns of his father's heroic deeds as a mass leader and his tragic demise at the hands of Mumbai's underworld. The revelation jolts Vishwa, causing him to question his life in Australia and compelling him towards his true destiny in India. Caught in the crossfire of vengeance and duty, Vishwa steps into his father's shoes. He starts navigating the treacherous waters of Dharavi, driven to avenge his father's death and protect his people. From a peaceful dancer, he transforms into Anna, the mass leader, echoing his father's resolve and spirit.
