STARCast
STORY
Towards the end of colonial India, Shahid Khan loots the British
trains, impersonating the legendary Sultana Daku. Now outcast, Shahid
becomes a worker at Ramadhir Singh’s colliery, only to spur a revenge
battle that passes on to generations. At the turn of the decade,
Shahid’s son, the philandering Sardar Khan vows to get his father’s
honor back, becoming the most feared man of Wasseypur. Staying true to
its real life influences, the film explores this revenge saga through
the socio-political dynamic in erstwhile Bihar (North India), in the
coal and scrap trade mafia of Wasseypur, through the imprudence of a
place obsessed with mainstream ‘Bollywood’ cinema.
Wasseypur becomes the town that was once consumed by the raging war
between Sardar Khan and Ramadhir Singh. It has spawned a new generation
of money squandering lobbyists, turning into foolhardy gangs overnight.
With illegal profiteering through scrap trade auctions over the
Internet, corrupt government officials, election rigging and
hooliganism, the town got murkier. Everyone wanted alliance with the
most powerful man of Wasseypur, Faizal Khan. His sole ambition however,
is to annihilate Ramadhir Singh, the man with the grand scheme.
