Real-life events continue to inspire cinema du jour

The movie takes its premise from the real-life incident of a woman who hit a man, then drove home and parked the car in the garage with the man wedged halfway through her windshield. How difficult was it to research for this darkly humorous psychological thriller? Mahesh Nair says, “It was difficult, because this incident happened in the States. We had to go through the newspaper cuttings and other research material and then adapt it accordingly to Mumbai’s scenario,” he says. The film also takes references from the alleged Salman Khan hit-and-run case and also that of Alistair Pereira. “With films based on reality, one has to be true to life and not larger than life. Secondly, one needs to be practical enough to not add song, dance and dream sequences in movies such as these.”
