Asif plays the role of Com Vineet, the leader of a party’s youth wing. He marries Ansi (Rajisha), the daughter of KV Chacko (Siddiqui), a prominent leader of the rival party, against her will. “Vineet and Ancy are like chalk and cheese.

Ansie gets irritated when Vineet gets more time than her for activities related to his party. Eventually, a pregnant Ansi is torn between the love of her father and her husband,” says Jibu.
