Radhe (Salman Khan) is a fearless gangster who joins a mafia outfit and proves his worth by eliminating rivals with brutal efficiency. He falls in love with Jhanvi (Ayesha Takia), a simple aerobics instructor. However, the underworld is changing, and a new kingpin, Ghani Bhai (Prakash Raj), creates chaos. As police close in and gang wars erupt, Radhe’s true motives remain a mystery until the explosive end.
If you are looking for a complex plot, Wanted is not that film. The story is straightforward, which is its biggest strength.
Radhe (Salman Khan) is a charming, ruthless, and deadly contract killer based in Mumbai. He works for the underworld don, Gani Bhai (Prakash Raj), known for his iconic dialogue, "Ganiiii...".
