He introduces himself as a history professor in order to impress Jahnavi. Meanwhile, he gets hallucination of seeing Gandhiji and talking to him. Shankar as a part of his wrong deeds also helps a land grabber called Lingam (Sayaji Shinde). Lingam tricks Shankar to grab the old-age home run by Jahnavi. Instead of attacking Lingam in his routine rough style, he applies the technique of Gandhigiri. The rest of the story is all about how he reforms Lingam and wins the heart of Jahnavi. .
