By Rinku Gupta In director Sai Sekhar's horror thriller, Siddharth plays a food safety officer with a sharp sense of smell while Catherine Tresa , conversely, is born with a smelling disability. The duo meet and as usual the hero falls for her and wants to marry her. But she says no because she feels her disability will weigh down the relationship. On the other side there is the parallel story of the hero getting on the wrong side of a bunch of villains ( which include the Vedhalam baddie Kabir Duhan Singh) who are into food adulteration, incurring the wrath of our upright hero.
