He is pursued by ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), ACP Shonali Bose (Bipasha Basu), and policeman Ali (Uday Chopra). They try to catch him in the act as he robs a Mumbai museum, but fail.
Mr. A, in the meantime, is caught by the wiles of Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai), who claims to be Mr. A's major fan. He agrees to take her into partnership, not knowing that she is actually working for the police.
Mr. A and Sunehri fly to Rio de Janeiro, where Mr. A plans another big heist. The police oficers , Jai and Ali, follow. Mr. A. finds out that Sunehri is working against him and accuses her of treachery; she realizes that she loves him and joins him in earnest. Their heist is a success and they retire to a life of ease on a tropical island in Fiji. Template:Endspoilers
