Plot
Vasanth (Aari) is an artist working on a story about 'Mayavanam', a haunted forest. On the birthday of his friend, he tells a story involving 'Maya', an evil spirit. He tells him about how a person experiences cold and watches the spirit descend on them when someone says "Maya! Your daughter is not with me" three times. To mock Vasanth, the friend said the same thing three times, and a similar figure entered the room. He falls back in fear, but the figure reveals himself as his wife; it was just a birthday surprise. The next day, Vasanth shows photographs taken by him during the Maya entrance dressed to his boss, Ram Prasad (Amzath Khan) and Madan (Utay Mahesh), episode writer at Mayavanam. Ram shows a smoky form near them and warns him about it. She tells him about a book, Asylum by Kate , detailing the lives of the mentally ill people who are forced into a mental hospital and experimenting.

After the movie poster, Irul, which Swathi is currently working on to the wall of the house, Apsara experiences strange things happening inside the house.

Out of frustration, he went to visit the advertising company where he learned that the producer had taken part in the contest arranged by the Swathi company.

Swathi begs him not to, fear for the life of Apsara and hopes the director supports him, he also begs him, but the director supports Apsara even though he knows what can happen later. The film started playing, and it was revealed that Vasanth's side of the story is Irul's film. When Apsara continues to watch, he is mysteriously teleported into the movie. Ram and Kate, the writer, are shown to have a man dig up the ground on the Mayavanam grounds, looking for an expensive ring that the dead Maya said. Vasanth was caught by Kate and held at the point of the gun as they searched for the ring. Apsara is caught as well, and when they finally find Maya's coffin, a visible figure appears behind Kate and Ram, and all hell breaks out. Soon Apsara and Vasanth were separated from the group, and pursued by ghosts. They fall into a big ditch and Vasanth helps him out, while he stays inside. He ran away and heard the baby cry. He goes looking for it, when he is shot by Shankar. After falling, she is held by Maya who cries in anger and kills Shankar. Then it was revealed that Maya was Apsara's mother. He wakes up in the theater, with his mother's diary on his lap, and the doll he used to play, when he was a baby.
