They are assigned to investigate a corrupt businessman and must work together, putting aside their differences, to become the heroes they want to be.

Naidu also mentioned that Ratan Tata's favourite show to binge-watch on Netflix is Fauda. For the unversed, this series focuses on the experiences of an Israeli Defense Forces unit and features the intense story of Doron, an Israeli soldier who goes undercover to track down a terrorist.
