Chakravarthy and edited by Navin Nooli. Jack's plot overview Jack (Siddhu Jonnalagadda) is a smart and capable guy who doesn't like the idea of a regular 9-to-5 job. His dream is to become a RAW agent. After going to an interview, he thinks he's got the job. While waiting, he takes matters into his own hands and starts chasing down some terrorists on his own. At the same time, real RAW agents are trying to catch a dangerous terrorist and stop a big attack on the country.
