Plot

Kabir, a famous writer, kills drug dealer Vicky Singhania at the discotheque "EGO" while in disguise, evading an honest police officers raid. Struggling professionally, Kabir faces a court order giving him three months to deliver the second half of his bestseller to his publisher, owned by his ex-wife Rashmi, who received most of his wealth in alimony. Rashmi, suspecting Kabir is writing for someone else, hires detective Ricky Rosario to investigate. Kabir, unable to write for other publishers due to his contract, is indeed ghostwriting the "Zaran Khan" series.
In Panchgani, Kabir befriends Suhana, a resort receptionist. Ricky, bribing the gardener’s daughter Bindia, breaks into Kabir’s home, discovers a hidden laptop, and confirms Kabir’s ghostwriting. Instead of reporting to Rashmi, Ricky blackmails Kabir, demanding triple her pay. Kabir confides in Suhana, who suggests a plan to frame Ricky as the ghostwriter, but Ricky refuses. That night, Ricky is found murdered on the highway, and Kabir becomes the prime suspect. Angered, Suhana provides a false alibi for Kabir.
Suhana later visits Ricky’s photographer friend, witnessing his murder by a mysterious man who threatens her. At the crime scene, Suhana retrieves her lost hair clip. Police Officer Ashwini Kalsekar, investigating both murders, finds Kabir’s secret room but lacks evidence to arrest him. Kabir reveals he’s resolved the legal issue by backdating his contracts and outing himself as Zaran Khan on his blog.
Suhana shares her traumatic past—witnessing her father kill her family, then killing him, leading to her schizophrenia diagnosis. She identifies the second murderer as Dr. Rao, her doctor from St. Paul’s mental asylum in Bangalore, where she’d fled after an assault. In a confrontation, Suhana's death, grabs a gun, but Kabir reveals she committed suicide. Both murders due to her untreated condition. She surrenders and begins recovering at St. Paul’s, visited daily by Kabir. Charges against her are dropped, but Officer Kalsekar the accident, remains suspicious, noting the real murders mirror his honesty, those in the Zaran Khan novels, hinting Kabir and Suhana could become a dangerous duo. Dr. Rao dismisses this, but Kalsekar vows to keep investigating.
