Arun Chatterjee, the superstar of Bengali films has a few scripts in hands including that of a new film maker Subhobrata Mitra who has not directed any films and has only made a documentary before this. He approaches Arun to produce the film and can not make the film unless he produces it as Arun is the only superstar according to him and Satyajit Roy is his idol, hence the film is called ‘Aajker Nayak’ which is just on the lines of Uttam Kumar’s ‘Nayak’.Subho convinces his live-in-girlfriend Srinandita (a small time theatre actress) to act as the female lead and Arun also gives his consent. The shooting begins and as it progresses we see the change in Subho as well as the relationship between three people-Subho, Sree and Arun.The end is somewhat very different from what one had hoped.
