RAW chief Kulkarni enlists agent Arjun and his team to go after Abdul Salim, the right hand of India’s most wanted terrorist, Ibrahim Qureshi. As soon as Salim gets there, Arjun and his comrades manage to take out every guard and capture Salim. Meanwhile, Arjun returns to his life as Ramakrishna, a banker, and finds out from Kulkarni that Salim will be sent to prison per the directives. Arjun forbids him from doing so out of concern that someone might try to save him. However, Salim is sent away in a police van with additional cars. But Salim is freed when masked gunmen from a helicopter attack the cars. It is revealed that Arjun and his comrades are the assailants once he gets on the helicopter. Arjun shoots Salim because he believes he is unnecessary and that his presence would jeopardise the security of the country.

Later, while Arjun is out on a date with his girlfriend Aishwarya, he gets attacked by some goons. This leads to a fight, during which Arjun finds out that his teammates have been taken prisoner. It is none other than Ibrahim Qureshi’s son Sohail who is the kidnapper. He challenges Arjun to travel to Karachi and save his comrades. As a result, Arjun approaches his agency for assistance but is turned away since his cover was exposed. After obtaining entry into Pakistan through his own means, he meets Zubeida, a RAW agent. In order to find out where Sohail is going, they all set up CCTV cameras along his route.Observing that there is no signal every time his cars go by, Arjun surmises that the commissioner of traffic police is gathering intelligence regarding Sohail’s whereabouts. At a bar, Zubeida engages the commissioner and assists Arjun in obtaining the officer’s digital fingerprints and voice activation to unlock his laptop. When he hears of someone breaking in covertly, the officer rushes back, but in vain.

After learning that Sohail will be attending a function at a hotel, Arjun and Zubeida decide to abduct him. When everything goes wrong, Arjun arrives and takes Sohail hostage. But when Arjun and Zubeida get to their hiding place, they discover that they actually took Sohail’s body double rather than the real Sohail. After an enraged Arjun shoots him, he flees and attacks Qureshi’s goons as they approach. After Arjun is shot during the ensuing chase, Ibrahim launches a manhunt for him. Arjun, however, escapes and is eventually saved by Zubeida. After obtaining the CCTV cameras that Zubeida had set up, Sohail murders Arjun’s friend while it is being recorded.

But when Arjun orders Zubeida to fast-forward the video, he discovers that his friend had used Morse code to communicate with him. By displaying the video of Arjun and his teammates in Karachi, they discover that Sohail is preparing to escape Arjun’s teammates and instigate an attack on the G8 Summit in order to frame India. India would be humiliated and this would be perceived as an attempt by India to bring shame to Pakistan. Arjun reunites with Kulkarni to stop this and carry out Mission Chanakya; it is then revealed that Kulkarni instructed him to meet Zubeida.
