winning…

the good of society. He abhors violence and greed and his Rishivan
Ashram is a haven of peace and tranquility.

Shahid Kapoor as Jaidev Vardhan

He's Simple and sincere till he falls into GG's trap and his dreams
change. Drinking, smoking, gambling…he is sucked into a vortex of
vaulting ambition and naked greed.

Bipasha Basu as Natasha
Her peak of deceit - to cast a seductive spell on Jai.

Hopelessly in love with GG, she will do whatever he says. She will
bewitch the gullible Jai, knowing well that what she's doing is
wrong and will forever put Jai at GG's mercy.

Amrita Rao as Madhavi
Her peak of devotion - to stand by her ideals and the man she loves.

Jai's childhood friend from the ashram tries to warn him but he
refuses to listen and she has to watch helplessly as Jai gets
tangled more and more in the deadly web spun by GG and Natasha.

Storyline

How far can greed take a man? Can the 'greens' ever fight the money
and might of the builders lobby? Can nature ever win over the
bulldozer? These are the riveting issues raised by Shikhar. Pitted
against each other in this battle of man v/s nature are two
different but equally powerful protagonists.

Gaurav Gupta aka GG (Ajay Devgan) is the man who started with
nothing and now believes that only money can fuel his ambitions.
While Guruji (Jawed Sheikh), to the manor born, believes that wealth
means nothing if not used for society. Caught in the tussle between
the two is the unworldly Jaidev Vardhan (Shahid Kapoor), who while
respecting his father's philosophy, falls hook, line and sinker for
GG's gilt-edged dreams.

While Guruji hopes that Jai will return to his roots, GG uses the
glamorous Natasha (Bipasha Basu) to bewitch Jai and the unscrupulous
politician Amrit Patil, to exploit the tribal into selling their
lands. Madhavi (Amrita Rao) watches the man she loves being carried
away in to a world of wine, women and wealth.

If Shikhar is the Pinnacle of good deeds and thoughts, Shikhar is
also the height of ambition and greed. Which peak will Jai choose to
scale in this battle of man vs. nature?
