He gets up suddenly from his sleep because of these memories. Enters into the scene is a London based hot and gorgeous supermodel Meera (Sunny Leone). Her business manager Andy (VJ Andy) plans a trip to Rajasthan without her permission, since he has taken the advance payment from a client. She refuses to go there, but ultimately agrees. Over there during the shoot, Ranveer Singh (Mohit Ahlawat), a rich prince, loses his heart to her. Slowly, the two start loving each other and then the marriage takes place. Karan meets a Nadi Shastra guru, who tells him that he has taken birth again to fulfill the incomplete tasks of 300 years ago. Guru also tells him that in his last janam, he could not marry his love Leela (Sunny Leone) because of the evil hurdles of Bhairav (Rahul Dev). Bhairav was fully in love with Leela and he had crafted a lifelike idol of her. Now Karan packs the bags to reach Rajasthan. What happens there is what forms the rest of the movie.
