Teddy
Srividya had a minor accident and was taken to a hospital. But while getting treated, she is instead kidnapped with the help of the hospital staff. While her kidnappers keep her in a medically induced coma, she has an out-of-body experience, where she gets into the body of a teddy bear. Shiva, who has a photographic memory, remembers everything in his life. Shiva completed many master's degrees and a PhD in no time with this capability. While Shiva saves a teenager from local goons on a public train, the teddy watches him and decided to get help from him. Teddy (as Sri's soul) seeks Shiva who helps find her kidnapped body, which they find in Azerbaijan. What happens to Sri and how Shiva defeats the mastermind behind this forms the crux of the story.
