To satisfy the producer's commercial outlook and her hunger for making a <a href="/wiki/Realism_(arts)" title="Realism (arts)">realistic film</a>, she decides to study the life of a real-life gangster for the script. Her extensive research leads to menacing one-eyed Bachchhan Paandey of <a href="/wiki/Baghwa" title="Baghwa">Baghwa</a>, a ruthless gangster surrounded by quirky yet scary henchmen. </p><p>Myra travels to Baghwa where she meets her best friend Vishu and tells him about her film idea on Bachchhan. Vishu gets furious and asks her to leave but is later persuaded to help her with the film. Both Vishu and Myra start to target Bachchhan's henchmen in an effort to get closer to him. Virgin, one of the goons, tells them about his former girlfriend Sophie, who was killed by the former. Vishu and Myra plant a microphone in Virgin's mobile phone to eavesdrop on his conversations with Bachchan. </p><p>Later, it is revealed that Virgin was betraying Bachchhan for another criminal Rana Lohia, but is caught and killed by him. Vishu and Myra listen to the murder through the microphone, but are caught by Bachchhan's gang. Bachchhan sets out to kill Vishu and Myra, but agrees to spare them when he discovers that Myra is directing a <a href="/wiki/Gangster_film" title="Gangster film">gangster film</a>, under the condition that he plays the protagonist of the film. Myra initially doesn't accept, but Bachchhan kidnaps her producer, and Myra is forced to listen to his backstory to develop the script. </p><p>In a flashback, Bachchhan works for a <a href="/wiki/Political_corruption_in_India" class="mw-redirect" title="Political corruption in India">corrupt politician</a> Laalji Bhagat. After a fallout, the politician gets Bachchhan's girlfriend Sophie killed. In retaliation, Bachchhan murders Bhagat in the hospital where he was admitted for a wound. </p><p>Bachchhan and his goons do not know how to act, so they learn through Bhavesh Bhoplo, an acting coach. Bhavesh hits, threatens, and humiliates Bachchhan and his henchmen, much to their chagrin. Nevertheless, Myra dissuades them from harming Bhavesh for the sake of the film. Bachchan and Myra soon develop feelings for each other. </p><p>The film is eventually completed and released in the theatres. Bachchhan and his goons initially get excited and promote the film named <i>BP</i>, thinking it to be the gritty gangster drama that it was marketed as. To their horror, the film turns out to be a <a href="/wiki/Comedy_film" title="Comedy film">comedy</a> that portrays them negatively. On the other hand, Myra's film is proved to be a major success and gets praise from her media and her director who used to often criticize her a lot. Bachchhan and the goons decide to kill her for making his terror among the people vanish but later on refrain as Bachchhan has a change of heart when his mother calls him after ten years and he attracts a fan following. </p><p>Later on, Bachchhan becomes a star and Kaandi, Bachchhan's close goon, gives up his habit of watching <a href="/wiki/Porn_film" class="mw-redirect" title="Porn film">porn films</a>. Vishu gets a lead role in an unnamed film. Pendulum (Bachchan's goon) who was married to his girlfriend Pinky (thanks to Bachchan) opens a <a href="/wiki/Dairy_farming" title="Dairy farming">dairy farm</a> with her after closing his bar. Bhavesh Bhoplo becomes the best acting teacher, Bachchhan gets recognized as the best comedy actor, and Myra as the best director. Bachchan quits being a criminal and becomes an actor. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a
