Jani, on the other hand, reincarnates as a fly in order to exact revenge.

Vaale, directed by S Mahendra, starred Sudeep in a dual role as twin brothers Shiva and Deva. While Shiva is the main character in the film, Deva is the possessive antagonist who is willing to go to any extent to win his love, even if it means harming his brother.
