Marina, a foreigner, wants to distribute the unreleased controversial film A, written and directed by Surya. However, the CBFC permits only 20 random minutes to be screened, and the climax is censored to such an extent that it no longer makes any sense. She suggests that the producers re-shoot the film. However, Surya is unable to participate in the film's shoot as he has become a drunkard after actress Chandini, who debuted with his film, rejected his love. Surya's family is unable to make ends meet after he stops directing films. Lost in his thoughts, he wanders near her house every night drunk, only to be expelled by her henchmen.
Unable to bear Surya's torture, Chandini asks him to jump from a building to prove his love. Surya jumps without hesitation. While he survives the fall, he is badly wounded and admitted to the hospital by Marina and the team. One of Surya's former assistant directors explains Surya's past to Marina. Surya was a successful director who had no feelings, especially for a woman's love. After his current female lead fails to act properly, he casts Chandini after a chain of events. Initially, Surya rejects Chandini's love, but after frequent run-ins and days of pursuit, Surya falls in love with her madly. Surya later meets a rich and busy Chandini, who lives in a big bungalow and is now the mistress of a wealthy married businessman.
Chandini defends herself, saying that Surya's views on the materialistic world influenced her to prioritize money over everything else after her father's death. He tries to explain to her that she is wrong, but is expelled. Due to this, Surya gave up everything and became an alcoholic, wandering near her house every day, hoping that she would accept him. Surya escapes from the hospital and is confronted by Marina, to whom Surya explains his love for Chandini. He then saves a novice actress named Archana from a group of henchmen who are revealed to be working for Chandini. Archana reveals Chandini was used as bait by the politicians to trap Surya and stop his A from releasing.
In turn, Chandini exploited the weakness of those politicians through the casting couch. She proves this to Surya, who, along with his father and Archana, is arrested on charges of prostitution. The police were bribed by Chandini, who abducts Archana while Surya and his father are arrested. Surya and his father are released on bail by Marina, and his family's plight makes Surya swear revenge. He restarts the shoot of A and turns out to be a superstar due to the film's anticipated success. The climax shoot is pending, and Surya wants to shoot it realistically, which includes the death of Chandini in a burning house.
The camera rolls and Surya kidnaps Chandini from her hen house where women are prostituted to influential politicians and people in business, where she kills the businessman she was engaged to. He brings her to the location and sets it on fire after rolling the camera. She knocks him out, and he falls unconscious after hitting a rock. Archana, Marina, and the producers come to the spot to save him. Archana shows him the film footage that was shot after revealing that Chandini is a good woman who wanted to bring Surya back to normal by acting as a ruthless criminal who is destroying many actresses' lives like Archana. The footage shows a naked Chandini dying and revealing the truth.
Chandini says that the businessman was the friend of a few corrupt politicians who wanted to have sex with her. They killed her father and sexually assaulted her and her minor sister. The businessman had blackmailed Chandini with a tape that captured the brutal assault. As per their directions, she had to cheat on Surya. However, Chandini brings Surya back to normal with the help of Archana and gives A a perfect ending. Surya tries to save her by entering the house, but she dies, asking him to live long and make films that expose the demons that haunt society.
