While Aahana understands the sentiment behind his daredevilry, she is worried for his life. The biggest threat to Arjun Dev’s life comes when the Indian Air Force decides to launch retaliatory attacks on terrorist launch pads in Pakistan following a dastardly terror attack on Indian jawans on 14 February 2019 in Pulwama. The heroic Arjun Dev is up for the mission of his life when he has to put himself on the line. Will he survive the retaliation?
