One such person is the Chief Minister (Dinesh Mangalore), who is Sihi’s father’s friend and mentor. He wants to make his daughter (Anita Bhat) the next CM and uses Sihi’s memory to store and retrieve sensitive information that can help him achieve his goal. However, he faces opposition from his own son and the Home Minister (Bala Rajawadi), who have their own ambitions and schemes to overthrow him.
In the midst of this political turmoil, Sihi meets Aryan (Tilak Shekar), a neurologist who claims to be looking for a life partner.
