In the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, Priya Sethi, portrayed by Shriya Saran, finds herself captivated by American culture. She indulges this fascination by secretly working at a call center under the pseudonym “Jennifer David.” With her extraordinary knack for American English, she easily convinces her clients that she is from San Francisco.
