Plot
editThe story happens in Visakhapatnam city. A group of four people (a film producer, a stand up comedian, a doctor and a pre wedding shoot photographer) goes to a place to attend and perform at the sanmanam event of a celebrity astrologer. After reaching the place, they realize that the place is creepy and weird. At the sanmanam event venue, they see Swamiji, a policeman, an event manager and a couple who are already present in that place.
When the event is about to start, they realize that the place is nothing but an abandoned mental asylum which was closed thirty years ago. In addition to that, due to lack of phone reception, they couldn’t call and inform anyone about their situation. When they decide to leave, they found out that that their vehicles were missing. When everyone starts to panic, a person named Andy enters the building. Andy’s entry makes things worse and chaotic, as everyone starts to die one by one. Why did Andy come… is Andy really behind these murders or did he come on another agenda forms the crux of the story along with a spine chilling twist in the climax.
