In this emotional and gripping tale, renowned director Azgar Khan is determined to create a masterpiece, but his passion for filmmaking clashes with the inflated egos of the people around him. The film's casting is a reflection of the power struggle between commercialism and artistic integrity. Azgar, initially against casting a famous actor, eventually agrees to cast a popular hero, but the journey is far from smooth.

The heroine, Chandrima, is a star who feels entitled to her role, leading to tensions on set. Azgar's frustration grows as the egos of the actors and crew threaten the film's production. Amidst all the chaos, Chandrima's estranged father, Abed Ali, an aging theater artist who spent years promoting cultural values and independence, arrives on set, revealing a hidden side of the story.

Abed Ali, battling illness and struggling to survive, wishes only for his daughter to be a true artist—someone with integrity, not a mere star. However, Chandrima, caught up in the allure of fame, dismisses her father's heartfelt desires. This tragic misunderstanding culminates in a devastating turn of events when Abed Ali dies in a tragic accident.

In the end, the story serves as a poignant reminder of the costs of fame, the value of true artistry, and the devastating consequences of losing one's integrity in the pursuit of success.
