Baaghi (2016 film)

Raghav Shetty, a powerful don and a martial arts world champion, abducts Siya Khurana from her film set in Hyderabad and takes her to Bangkok.

Khurana, along with Dasanna, a film producer, seeks the government officers and cops for help, but no one is ready to assist them as Raghav is an influential person and there is no extradition treaty between India and Thailand.

At the behest of his late father, Colonel Samarjit Singh, Ronny unwillingly becomes a student in the Kalaripayattu Royal Academy of Martial Arts in Kerala, headed by Kailash Shetty a.k.a.
