The film is set two years after the original film, Sarkar. When Anita Rajan, CEO of an international firm, brings the Nagres a power plant proposal to set up in rural areas of Maharashtra, Subhash Nagre visits Thakerwadi (a rural area in that state) to seek permission for the plant from his mentor, Rao Saab. The Westernized and business-suited Shankar is quick to realize the plant's benefits, which will nonetheless required relocating 40,000 people in five villages. After convincing Sarkar, Shankar, along with Anita, visits the villages to mobilize support from the masses. However, things are not what they seem to be. From shady fixers with an eye on multi-million kickbacks to a political firebrands ready to incite the people against the controversial project, Shankar's dream gradually becomes a nightmare of infighting, betrayal, bribery and kidapping. Shankar also feels that he is now the Sarkar (a title essentially meaning "Overlord"), and that he has legitimately taken his father's place.
