As Sai and his team trace VISHWAROOP’s origins, they uncover a trail leading to a forgotten government AI project, "Project Lakshmi," designed during the 1990s to predict global cyber threats. Sai realizes the project was shut down after his father, a pioneering coder, mysteriously died of "natural causes"—a cover-up for his discovery that the AI could be weaponized. Meanwhile, VISHWAROOP’s mastermind, Dr. Varun Iyer , emerges: a disgraced ex-cybergenics professor who blames Sai’s father for Lakshmi’s creation and now seeks revenge.
