## Plot

[edit]

Khan holds great influence in making and demolishing the government. He is a social worker, a caring husband, a doting father, and a caretaker of his sister. Not only this, he still sincerely remembers his ex-lover, but very few people are aware of Khan’s dark personality.

Khan was born and brought up in a village where his parents served a feudal family. Back in the day, he developed feelings for Sarwat, a girl in his neighbourhood who had similar feelings for him. Their love seemed like an unbreakable bond, but fate had something else in store.

In an unfortunate circumstance, the son of a feudal lord kidnapped Sarwat, looted her of her honour, and killed a person who tried to stop him. To protect his son, the feudal lord pressurised Khan to claim responsibility for the murder and promised him bail. Khan appeared at the police station and confessed to the murder without knowing that he was also accepting the rape of his love interest.

When Sarwat visits Khan at the police station, she asks him about the real culprit he is saving and spits on his face. This act jolts Khan’s ego, and a volcano of revenge erupts in his mind. The emerging circumstances take Khan far away from his lover, and he finds out about his real enemies. A resourceful person in jail frees Khan from police custody and takes an oath from Khan to work for the underworld.

Khan releases from prison with a single mission— gathering unparalleled power and top secrets of government officials and cutting the throats of his opponents. He emerges as a billionaire, a plutocrat, and an underworld don who is a social activist for the world but a game changer from behind. When he finds that his former lover is married to his rival, sweet memories from their past start hurting Khan even more.
