One day Manu meets movie star Mammootty on the set of a movie shooting and tells Mammootty that he has a story which he plans to make as a movie. Mammootty listens to the synopsis and tells Manu to call him once the script is ready. Since Manu got the dates from a super star like Mammootty, he plans to make a movie soon and looks out for finance. Manu introduces Surya as the produceer and lends money from a money lender called Bhasi at a very high rate of interest but the production assistant runs away with that money.
Surya has to repay that money and he has nothing with him. So he tells a lie to Vinayaka that he got married with a girl and he needs cash. Vinayaka says that he is busy to come but will send the money. Surya's even introduces his girl friend Neethu as his wife to Vinayaka's advocate Uthaman. Later when Neethu was in Bangkok with her father, Vinayakan comes to meet the couple. Surya, out of desperation, asks Diya to act as Neethu. While things were going smooth, Neethu comes back from vacation and further confusions arise. Now Neethu has to act as the girl friend of Manu. They appoints a servant called Thamara at their house but Surya has to introduce her as the sistor of Neethu to Vinayakan. She creates all sort of problems for Surya and Manu.
Surya and Manu has to tell all sorts of lies to hide the truth but the truth finally surfaces. At that time, it turns out that Vinayakan was aware of what was happening and Thamara was his wife which he sent to their home in advance to know the facts. Finally Manu makes Surya's story as his script and makes a movie of it in which Mammootty plays the real life character of Vinayakan. The movie ends when Vinayakan congratulates Mammootty for his acting skills after the final scene in the movie.
