Genre Drama

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?
