, with G.One being the hero, but less powerful. The night when Ra.One is launched, Akashi feels a problem with Ra.One and is very worried when he reads the message Lucifer shall die. Just as Shekhar is about to go home, Akashi stops him and tells him about the game. Shekhar tells his wife and son you go home and that he'll be back in a few hours. He does see the problem, just then Ra.One comes out of the game, kills Akashi and takes his form. Shekhar, upon seeing the framework where Ra.One's model was standing broken and seeing the body of Akashi leaves the building and heads home to warn his family about Ra.One, but is stopped by Ra.One, who asks him the identification of Lucifer. Shekhar, in a desperate attempt to save his son lies that he himself is Lucifer. But Ra.One scans his ID card and comes to know that he is lying, thus Ra.One kills Shekhar and starts to search for Lucifer.
After seeing his corpse, Shekhar's wife sees no point in staying in UK and decides to move to India, but she and Shekhar's son Prateek (a.k.a Lucifer) notice that Shekhar's death was not an accident and tries to find the real reason. He comes to know about the truth and tells one of his father co-workers, she believes him after seeing the evidences and realises that the only way to stop Ra.One is G.One, who is still in the game. She uses the exact same way to bring G.One out of the game and succeeds. The first thing G.One does is to fight Ra.One, he takes Ra.One by surprise and succeeds in taking out his H.A.R.T. after that, Sonia gets ready to leave for India along with Prateek, but realises that G.One has to come with them. Thus they all go to India and begin living in the old house of Shekhar. It is shown that Sonia and Prateek begin thinking that G.One has Shekhar's soul in himself, actually Shekhar designed G.One to look just like him and also put a file in him that makes him able to act just like Shekhar.
Throughout the film the three bond and Sonia and Prateek develop strong feelings towards G.One. Then Ra.One recreates himself and continues his search, after playing many bizarre tricks, he manages to kidnap Prateek and hypnotize Sonia. G.One first saves Sonia, then tries to save Prateek, but he has to fight with Ra.One to save Prateek. He survives throughout the first two levels , in the 3rd and final level, Ra.One divides himself into ten same looking models, and challenges G.One to shoot him in the H.A.R.T. First both G.One and Prateek are confused, then Prateek realizes that maybe the key is hidden in his father's sayings. He thinks of the last saying he father told him, he said that "every bad-doer leaves a shadow behind", then he notices that of the 10 Ra.One's, only one has the shadow. G.One kills him, takes his remains and transports to the game world, telling Prateek that this was the plan all along.
6 months later, it is shown that Prateek and Sonia have moved back to UK. Prateek has been trying very hard to resurrect G.One, as he has his H.A.R.T, which has been partially destroyed. He finally manages to repair the H.A.R.T and G.One re-appears, it is hinted that G.One will continue to live with Sonia and Prateek.
G.One can control and absorb blue electricity which he can use to heal himself and discharge it as energy balls.
Hart disabling gun
After reaching level 3 both G.One and Ra.One can manifest guns which contain one bullet which can disable a HART if it strikes one of them while the body and the hart are connected. G.One's gun resembles a double barreled pistol.
