Spoilers ahead
Arun, the son of a wealthy businessman Ramanathan, returns to India after spending ten years in the United States—only to reveal that he has become a saint. Shocked by this transformation, Ramanathan hires Rekha, a press reporter, to help return him to his former self. Rekha first arranges an interview, which Arun deliberately disrupts. Undeterred, she crafts a second plan under the pretense of taking him to a temple. On the way, Rekha fakes a car breakdown. As Arun wanders around, he encounters a crying child and offers a chocolate. Suddenly, he is swarmed by other children and villagers, who accuse him of being a child-kidnapper. Taking advantage of the chaos, Rekha cuts off Arun’s beard — a symbol of his piety.
