His friends worldwide help him to regain his superstardom by helping him make world's 1st remote-filmed feature film.

Many of these friends counsel him through video-call.

Kapoor is introduced to the world of spirituality and astrology by his dear friend, now a famous Hollywood-based Indian astrologer, Uma. She asks him to rename all his female leads and parallel-leads Uma or Laila. 

Honey does so and finds that after a long time his film made money and won him awards as well. He finds huge appreciation at Cannes Film Festival, as well. 

Kapoor is especially lauded for his efforts by the government, since mental health is going to be the biggest pandemic by 2030.

Kapoor goes about filming a film-anthology on mental health awareness which is an interesting mix of scripted and improv content.
