The plot of No Smoking revolves around a chain smoker K (John Abraham), who is addicted to cigarettes. He is not ready to do anything about his smoking habit until his wife Anjali
(Ayesha Takia) threatens to lave him and convinces him to meet Baba Bengali
(Paresh Rawal). Baba Bengali is a mysterious character who runs a rehabilitation hub, which help people come out of their addictions.

K meets him and agrees to a freezed contract. ‘Freezed’ because once agreed upon, K can’t come out of it. Soon, K realizes the power of the contract.
Proud and desperate, K throws caution to the wind and challenges the Baba’s diktats. However he can’t escape Baba no matter what he tries. Until of course the contract is complete.
K is entangled in a smoky game between the self-assumed all-knowing gatekeeper of the netherworld and an innocent.
Now, K is on his way to escape from the hands of Baba. The only way is the completion of the contract. What’s in store for K? Is his wife involved in these
mishappenings? Does K manage to come out clear or gets blown up in the smoky clouds?
Wait for No Smoking to hit the screens in October this year and have all your questions answered.
