The trailer opens with breathtaking views of Garhwal, accompanied by scenes of Ajay’s family and early friendships, culminating in his pivotal choice to embrace sanyas.
This decision ignites his spiritual journey in a region dominated by gangsters and powerful politicians. The initial peace transitions into turmoil as he confronts a corrupt system, evolving from mere spiritual practices to assertive leadership and reform.
