But he gets wrongfully convicted for a local MP’s murder the very next day. Now, his greatest responsibility is to protect himself and his pregnant wife from the police and unknown danger.
Jaya Ahsan will be headlining Ashfaque Nipun’s Jimmi where she plays a lower-level government employee who has been stuck in the same position for 10 years without any promotion, leading to tension in her household.
