Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor haven't worked together since their shelved film Allwyn Kalicharan in 2003. They get into a tiff at a talk show when Anurag spills water on Anil's face in front of the whole media. Laer, Anurag decides to apologize to Anil, and on his birthday he visits his film set and tries to convince him to take the lead role in his new film. Anil is not willing, but Anurag has pre-planed everything by kidnapping his daughter Sonam and he must find his daughter before sunrise--while Anurag's camera rolls on him to get that realistic feel according to the script.
