- Daanish (Dhanush), a mute whose childhood dream was to become a Bollywood actor, reaches Mumbai to fulfill his dream. He tries to enter the film city there, but gets stopped by the guards there. He trespasses the gate and comes across an Assistant Director, Akshara Pandey (Akshara Haasan), who is amazed by his acting. She approaches a director for requesting a role for Daanish in a film, but the director refuses after he comes to know that Daanish cannot speak.
Daanish and Akshara go to a voice hospital to get his check-up, but doctors declare his vocal chords are fully paralyzed and are unable to be treated. But, they assure him that with their advanced technology, Danish could have a 'voice transfer'. They fit a chip inside Daanish's larynx with which a person could transfer their voice into the chip, and when the person would speak, the words would also come from Danish's mouth. They set out to search for a person who could speak for Daanish every time, when they come across an old drunkard, Amitabh Sinha (Amitabh Bachchan), lying on the footpath. Amitabh also wanted to become an actor but was rejected because of his voice.
Daanish approaches the director again, who agrees to launch him this time, but wanted him to change his name. Daanish searches for a name and concludes on Shamitabh (a portmanteau of DaaniSH and AMITABH), giving credit to the person who provided him with voice. Daanish makes a couple of films and turns out to be a hit actor to which Amitabh realizes was only because of him and an ego problem between the two starts to rise. Amitabh wants equal say in the projects that Daneesh signs up for, but Daneesh is not ready to share this privileged with Amitabh. Amitabh also starts feeling that Daanesh owes his success to the excellent dialogue delivery provided by Amitabh & not due to his own looks or acting skills & feels under-appreciated.
This comes to a head after Amitabh pulls a gun on a police and is jailed while Daanish is at London for a lecture at a university. They both separate after a confrontation at the airport (Daneesh tells Amitabh to say that Shamitabh is ashamed of his servant who got jailed. Amitabh starts to apologize, but gets abusive in the middle, which the world thinks that Shamitabh is saying. Shamitabh is deeply embarrassed & hits Amitabh) and start making their own films, where Daanish plays the role of a mute person. Daanish has to convince Akshara to write a script for 2 mute folks falling in love & gets her to sell the idea to a producer. He convinces the producer that to be in character, he would remain dumb for the duration of the movie. Amitabh dubbing the voice for another actor. Both films fail commercially.
Akshara makes both of them realize they are nothing without each other and gets them together for a film titled Sorry, which she is directing. Meanwhile, Akshara and Daanish tell that they like each other. Amitabh and Daanish are on the way to the venue of the press meet for Sorry, and on the way become engrossed in a fun conversation when their car is hit by a trailer and grievously injures both Amitabh and Daanish. Amitabh's larynx damages completely making him unable to speak. On gaining consciousness, Amitabh sees Akshara by his bedside and inquires about Daanish. Akshara leads him to the very same graveyard where Amitabh lived and he discovers that Daanish had died in the accident. Amitabh begins to verbalize his feelings but is unable to do due to his damaged larynx. He later paces around Daanish's grave with the script of Sorry, imagining that Daanish is still alive and practicing his lines for the film.
