The innocent youngster gets entangled in the web of a terror group and goes into hiding fearing the safety of his loved ones.Sameer, one of the two characters played by Mammooty in the film, is inspired by the Peoples Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madanis long incarceration as an undertrial in a Tamil Nadu jail. Likewise, Sameer spends nine and a half years in jail as an accused in a blast case and is finally acquitted of all charges. The director says that the film transmits not just the trauma of Madani but of every undertrial who had to undergo long imprisonment. Only the core idea is taken from real life and the rest is fiction. Madani is a political leader. But Sameer is presented as an ordinary person, he said. ........
