The story revolves around his battle with local politician MP Jaggayya, who’s out for revenge after Bachchan’s raid humiliates his family. As Jaggayya hunts him down, Anand and his team execute a high-stakes raid on Jaggayya’s own residence.

The film delves into how Anand earned the nickname “Mr Bachchan,” his challenges with raids, and the events that led to his suspension.
