In Warsaw, Devendra is a chairman of paramedic's research and crime boss who wants to spread a virus and provide a cure to it at a high price to obtain profits. He had bought a Crown Jewel which is kept in the Aircraft Museum and would be delivered to him in a week.
After consulting the doctor and scheduling a date for the operation, Satya and Jaanu visit the aircraft museum. After they are done visiting, A masked man Ghost carries out heist of the Crown Jewel. The Chase occurs between Interpol officers and Ghost where the former escapes. Satya and Jaanu fly back to Bengaluru. Interpol Officers Sharath and Kangana began their investigation, they check the CCTV footage and the photo of the masked man Ghost is a doppelganger of Satya, and he is seen reciting a Sanskrit mantra during the heists and explosions were in a bid to distract Interpol. They head to Bangalore to investigate. Ex-ACP Kishore reveals about his and Satya's past. Devendra learns about Satya and assigns his top assassin Michael to finish him and bring the Jewel back, but Satya kills the henchman and Michael. Sharath and Kangana arrive and arrest Satya.
They interrogate him where he fakingly accepts the blame and also lies that Kishore was the one who planned it. Priya is heartbroken to know about Satya's scams, where she takes Jaanu along with her to Poland for treatment. Sharath and his team take Satya and Kishore to Poland where they are taken to the prison from the airport. However, they escape and reach the hospital where Jaanu was admitted. Anantha Krishna, a surgeon tries to inject chloroform into Satya, but Satya injects him back and convinces Priya and Kishore about his innocence and also reveals Anantha Krishna's involvement in Ghost's criminal activities. He also brings the doctor's phone which receive a message from Ghost telling him to meet him at the pub. They reach the pub where they realize the errors. The Interpol arrives to arrest them, but Ghost distracts them and takes the gang to his hideout where they meet Dr.Anantha Krishna and Ghost. Dr.Anantha Krishna reveals that Ghost is actually Shiva and he is Satya's twin brother and Anantha Krishna is their uncle.
Past: Shiva and Satya's mother Durga, who is the Commissioned Health Department officer (H.D.O), learns and objects Devendra's methods of spreading the virus and inventing medicines to cure them for profits. Durga is the one who taught the mantra to her children (which was used by Ghost/Shiva before). When both of them are born, Satya is healthy, but Shiva is wounded due to nerve damages, since he defended Satya in the womb from Devendra. Their father Prakash, who is abroad on a business trip arrives to take them. However, Anantha Krishna only gives Satya and he takes Shiva to an ashram and was cured, then Anantha Krishna took him to Poland for higher studies. After that when Shiva learns of the incident and decide to avenge their mother's death and also learn about Satya. He operated a plan to bring him to Poland to divulge the truth.

Satya saves Jaanu and destroys the oxygen tank in the ambulance, causing the ambulance to explode, killing Jeet. Shiva a.k.a Ghost are taken by the Interpol. However, they are kidnapped by Devendra's henchmen. Shiva reveals himself to Devendra and kills him and his associates where he pins the murders on Kishore, who gets arrested. The Interpol officers release Sathya as he is proved innocent and tells the media they are in search of Ghost. Shiva sold the Crown Jewel and used the money by selling it for the uncured patients, who were affected by Devendra's medicine. Satya and Jaanu return to the orphanage.
