Storyline

I (2015) tells the tale of Lingesan, a humble bodybuilder who dreams of becoming Mr. India. His life changes when he becomes a model and falls in love with Diya, a successful model. Just as his dreams come true, betrayal strikes—rival models, jealous colleagues, and a corrupted pharmaceutical mogul conspire against him, injecting him with a virus that deforms him physically. Disfigured and discarded, Lingesan becomes a vengeful hunchback, setting out to destroy those who ruined his life. Through a series of flashbacks, the film reveals the conspiracy behind his fall and his journey to redemption and revenge.
