Deciding to move onto the next project, he has his assistant set up a shoot for the next day, who is forced to set it up on-location instead of a set-up. They choose the same burnt studio and set of the old "Om Shanti Om." As soon as he sees it, Om gets the feeling tha the has been there before, and looking around, Om visits the burnt set, and remembers everything about his past life. The Filmfare Award ceremony follows, in which Om wins best actor. During the party that follows, he meets Mukesh again, a popular Hollywood director.

Having completely regained his memory, Om goes to meet Pappu and Bela, Om’s mother. He decides to remake the film Om Shanti Om, which was not completed. Mukesh is requested to become the producer of the film. During the audition for the role of Shanti, the audition crew meet Sandy or Sandhya, a look-a-like of Shantipriya. They make a plan; they take Mukesh to the burnt film set to announce the beginning of the film. Here, Om tries to re-act the whole murder with the help of the starcast of the announced film. Sandy often appears to make Mukesh realize that Shanti had turned into a ghost. He gets afraid . But things take a turn and Mukesh comes to know about the plan. Om faces Mukesh and they started fighting. Om first invites Mukesh to a function. Suddenly a chandelier comes & hits his head, making him unconscious. After he wakes up he comes to know that there is no one in the function except he & Om. Mukesh tells to Om that he knows everything about his plan. Suddenly, Sandy comes and starts to talk. Om tries to warn her about Mukesh knowing the plan, but stops, when Sandy starts to speak lines which she was not instructed to speak, and nobody knew about. Sandy appears and reveals that Mukesh came back after burning the set to take care of the body. Mukesh asks her how she knew that. Sandy says that her body was buried right underneath the floor under the chandelier, and that Mukesh was about to die right on the same spot. Om realizes that Sandy should not have known where the body was, and remembers that the painting used to inaugurate the film had burned on its own. He realizes that Sandy was actually Shanti's ghost.
