How far can greed take a man? Can the ‘greens' ever fight the money and might of the builders
lobby? Can nature ever win over the bulldozer? These are the riveting issues raised by Shikhar.
Pitted against each other in this battle of man v/s nature are two different but equally
powerful protagonists.
Gaurav Gupta aka GG (Ajay Devgan) is the man who started with nothing and now believes that only
money can fuel his ambitions. While Guruji (Jawed Sheikh), to the manor born, believes that wealth
means nothing if not used for society.
Caught in the tussle between the two is the
unworldly Jaidev Vardhan (Shahid Kapoor), who while respecting his father's philosophy, falls hook,
line and sinker for GG's gilt-edged dreams.
While Guruji hopes that Jai will return to his roots, GG uses the glamorous Natasha (Bipasha Basu)
to bewitch Jai and the unscrupulous politician Amrit Patil, to exploit the tribal into selling their lands.
Madhavi (Amrita Rao) watches the man she loves being carried away in to a world of wine,
women and wealth.
If Shikhar is the pinnacle of good deeds and thoughts, Shikhar is also
the height of ambition and greed. Which peak will Jai choose to scale in this battle of man vs.
nature?
