Auto Raja

The title is a homage Shankar Nag's movie of the same name. Quick-witted Raja obviously admires the critically acclaimed and popular yesteryear director-actor, Shankar Nag and his movie of the same name 'Auto Raja' which is and has been an inspiration for many a driver. He follows his role model's morals and lives proudly in his profession as a simple auto driver. He crosses paths with a naive village girl, Rani, who has come to the city to become a professional actress. Fed up of the radio jockeys frequent taunts and accusations hurled towards auto drivers, he outsmarts an RJ on air. He gets a part-time job as an RJ himself and becomes much closer to the general public than any RJ before, but due to circumstances, nobody has seen him or knows who the real host of the program is. Meanwhile Rani is being stalked by a group of rapists and human traffickers. —Girish
