SARFIRA is the story of a man and his impossible dream. The year is 1998. Vir Mhatre (Akshay Kumar) lives in the village of Jarendeshwar, Maharashtra, that too at the outskirts. Rani (Radhikka Madan) visits him for an arranged marriage. Vir tells her that it’s his dream to start India’s… first low-cost airline. However, he has been unsuccessful since no bank is willing to loan him a huge amount. Rani is interested in Vir but makes it clear that she’ll marry if he manages to excel in his endeavour. Vir, meanwhile, continues to work towards his goal. His idol is Paresh Goswami (Paresh Rawal), owner of Jaz Airlines. Vir’s attempts to meet him prove futile. Hence, he spends all his money on booking a business class ticket on the same flight in which Paresh is travelling. Vir meets Paresh mid-air and proposes his idea. Paresh rejects it as he feels that his clientele would not be comfortable travelling with the common man. Prakash Babu (Prakash Belawadi) of Fundflow Ventures happens to be on the same flight. He shows interest in Vir’s idea. Vir convinces the board at Fundflow that his airline company can make profit through out-of-the-box measures. All is going well for him until one day, he gets the shock of his life.
