Arun Khanna is a spy for the Indian government whose aid is enlisted to stop ISI Chief Ishak Khan. Khan is trying to build a nuclear bomb with which he can liberate Kashmir from the Indians. A battle of wits ensues. When Khan detonates a bomb at Khanna's engagement party to a fellow spy, Khanna's resolve is only strengthened. Now not only does he have to fight Khan, but he also has to track down his missing fiancee.
Directed by Anil Sharma, The Hero: Love Story of a Spy leans on a strong ensemble — Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Priyanka Chopra Jonas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
