The story revolves around two lookalike men living in the same city. One of them attacks a man and leaves him dead, following which an investigation begins. A strong evidence leads the cops to capturing one of the lookalikes. However, just as they believe the case is closed, the cops also capture the second lookalike, and now have to find out which one among the two committed the murder.
Red was scheduled to release theatrically on 9 April 2020. The release was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were rumors that the film might premiere on an over-the-top media service, but Ram denied and confirmed the film would be released in theatres.
