‘Is Sharma a Quiet Don?’ is the surreal story, rather a high voltage thriller on theft and misuse of nuclear technology under the disguise of Research and Development (R&D).
Venkatesh Sharma, a simple South Indian Brahmin is an Expat (Expatriate Executive) business man in Haipon, a nuclear armed country. He lives and works happily in Haipon as a well-recognised and well respected Expat. It all changes one day.
Venkatesh realizes that he is quietly drawn into a terrorist intrigue to smuggle some crucial nuclear secrets from a key industry in the US. He scuttles their plans smartly in the last minute. But he gets caught in the vicious dragnet of self-survival which entails his keeping the terrorists happy on one side and helping the Haiponese Government to nab the terrorists at the same time. The terrorists use the hallowed R&D labs of Haipon for their nefarious designs and race to their goal. The game involves high level honchos of Haiponese Government and hence is sophisticated and involved, to say the least.
Can Venkatesh Sharma satisfy the hidden agendas of all the stakeholders, namely the terrorists, Haiponese government and himself?
