Bhagat, born in 2020, faces similar events and believes that following Rajaram will lead him to the person he seeks. However, as their lives unfold, inexplicable developments complicate Rajaram’s quest. Will Rajaram ultimately find the answers he seeks? Or will the answer he discovers become the true question? Hejjaru presents this intriguing dualism, urging viewers to unravel the mystery,” the director explains in brief about the concept.
