Taxi driver) is a 2018 Indian Telugu-language supernatural comedy thriller film[1] directed by Rahul Sankrityan.

Produced by UV Creations and GA2 Pictures, the film stars Vijay Deverakonda, Priyanka Jawalkar, and Malavika Nair.

A grateful Shiva agrees to help pay the costs for his sister-in-law to get admitted into a better hospital for the birth of her second child.

Over time, he starts to experience paranormal incidents in the car, notably a drunk passenger being scared.

Suddenly, the car takes control and ultimately kills the doctor by throwing him onto some train tracks to be run over, much to Shiva's horror.

One of his students, Sisira Bharadwaj (the young woman from the prologue), lived with her stepfather Raghuram and wealthy, asthmatic mother.

The night of her birthday, she had a fight with her mother when Raghuram tried to replace Sisira's old car, which was a gift from her late father.

Later, Shiva learns from Anusha that his sister-in-law gave birth to a girl who was also stillborn due to a chromosome abnormality.

In the car, Sisira's soul enters the baby girl's body and starts crying, giving both herself and the couple a second chance.
