The reporter meets an auto-rickshaw driver Sameer (Gashmeer Mahajani) who decides to drop her to her hotel in Louiswadi and tells her that rather than relying on the internet, she should meet the common Thanekars to whom Anand Dighe Saheb devoted his entire life. The story takes back to the early days of Shiv Sena when a young Anand Dighe Saheb is a party worker. Inspired by his work and dedication, he becomes a prominent member of the party and a very close aide of supremo Bal Thackeray where both share great respect towards one another.
