A mysterious man disguised as a doctor, enters a morgue and suddenly performs surgery on a corpse. He brings out a number of pouches full of drugs from inside the body, which were already being smuggled inside the dead man's stomach. Immediately after his departure, when the deceased's family members started a commotion, a renowned officer of the Kolkata Police Department, ACP Mandira Sanyal arrives there to solve the mystery. After special investigation, she realizes that this is a completely new technique of drug trafficking, where the products are being smuggled inside the stomachs of dead people. According to the information, someone uses to double-cross and kills the sub-ordinates after learning all the details of the smuggling movements from them. Then she comes to the conclusion that the sole mastermind behind this incident and the doctor in disguise was none other than Victor, a notorious dealer in the drug world and codenamed "V", whose face was unknown to the police records accordingly.
Mandira first interrogates Majid about this drug ring, who once worked under Mannan Sheikh alias "Chhota Mannan". He then tells her about Masud, who started his journey in the crime world with Mannan since their initials, and lost both his legs after falling under a lorry while saving Mannan from a police shootout, four years before. Mandira and her team immediately goes for interrogation with Masud, who assures them that Mannan may not be alive anymore, because there is a signature of being alive. A sketch artist brought in and a sketch of Mannan is made on the basis of Masud's description. Hardly has their enquiry been ended, when Mannan is reported to now be running an ashram for disabled children in Purulia.
Mandira brings Mannan to the police custody for interrogation, who was beyond the reach of the police. In spite of not being associated with the underworld, Mannan, who lives a simple life, readily reveals that the real mastermind behind this new trend of drug ring and double-crossing is Arjun Mukherjee, the daredevil and a former officer of NCB. Mandira gets shocked to know this, as she was an admirer of Arjuna's honesty. Mannan then narrates the past incidents involving him and Arjun.
It tells the story of hope and redemption, having emotion in every inch. Arjun is a middle class honest police officer who loves his daughter more than anything and can go to any extent for her whereas his enemy Mannan is a notorious drug dealer and ruthless criminal. However certain circumstances slowly change Arjun into an inhuman seeking money which makes Arjun become a drug lord and criminal named ‘Victor’. He is suspended from his job and continues to deal with drugs in the underworld for money whereas Mannan leaves the underworld by stopping all his crimes and starts to live a peaceful life by helping poor children after being diagnosed with advanced stage rare blood cancer. Soon the wheel of fate moves around making Victor realise that an enemy can also be a true friend. How they will both succeed to win the game of survival and fight the battle of destiny to become a true human being forms the rest of the story.
After the success of Badsha (2016) and Boss 2: Back to Rule (2017), it was reported that Jeet might do several Indo-Bangladesh joint ventures; however it was proved to be a rumour. Later in October 2021, it was reported that Sanjoy Somadder, visited Jeet at his residence and narrated a script titled Dwitiyo Purush, which impressed him. The project was supposed to be the actor's 55th film as a leading actor, but that position instead went to Chengiz (2023). It was also reported that Mosharraf Karim, who had previously made his debut in Bengali cinema with Bratya Basu's Dictionary (2018), would be seen sharing screen with Jeet.
