People of small screen are now turning their face towards the big screen, recent example being a Sahara Manoranjan Entertainment's Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty starrer Phir Milenge. Following this ongoing tradition, Adhikari Brothers of SAB TV emerge with their debut Bollywood enterprise, Wajahh - A Reason to Kill, which stars Arbaaz Khan, Gracy Singh and Shamita Shetty in leading roles. Directed by Gautam Adhikari, Wajahh has a suspense thriller in store for the audience.

Dr. Aditya Bhargava (Arbaaz Khan) is one of the leading neurosurgeons in the country. He loves his gorgeous wife, Trishna (Gracy Singh) dearly. Since he is a successful doctor, he is overloaded with work. Due to this, he cannot give much time to his wife. Eventually, it creates a tense situation between the two. Dr. Aditya has an unpredictable nature. He is a changed personality with every coming minute - he might be very polite and the next moment he could be violent.

Trishna is much worried with the dreams laced with someone who tries to kill her brutally. She does not find courage to express this to Aditya because she knows well that he will not believe her. But one night, when both husband and wife are sleeping in their bedroom, someone breaks the window glass with a stone. Both run to the door and are shocked to see the words "I CANNOT SEE THIS" written with blood on the floor. This incident frightens Trishna more. One day, Raj (a common friend of Aditya and Trishna) who is a palm reader, predicts to Trishna that Aditya will kill her soon. This brings a huge hurricane in Trishna's life that she begins to believe that her nightmare is going to be true and Aditya will murder her soon.

She is now scared of her husband. Her friends try to get her out of this fear by telling her that Aditya cannot do this since he loves her immensely, so she should not believe in what Raj has said. But Trishna is unable to overcome this fear of death.

In the midst of all this, Ishita Singhania (Shamita Shetty) - a former patient of Aditya, returns from abroad. She falls head over heels in love with Dr. Aditya. Ishita now starts to meet Dr. Aditya, which Trishna does not like at all. Trishna suspiciously asks Aditya what is going on between Ishita and him? For which, Aditya assures her that there is nothing between them except a relationship of Doctor and a patient.

One day, Trishna with her friend Sonia, is sitting at home when someone attacks her but Sonia gets murdered instead. Inspector Bholenath puts the needle of suspicion on Aditya.

This suspense-thriller raises a number of questions in cinegoer's minds such as:

What will happen to Trishna's fears?
Will Raj's predictions about Trishna come true?
Will Trishna be killed?
Who tries to kill Trishna in her dreams?
Who attacks Trishna at her home?

Wajahh-A Reason to Kill also features Zulfi Syed, Sudesh Berry, Satish Kaushik, Vijayendra Ghatge, Zahid Ali and Akruti Mistry. Anand Raj Anand has arranged the tunes. The flick carries a special bhangra track by Daler Mehndi who gives his special appearance in the film as well.

The movie is scheduled to release on October 22.
