Aamir Khan and company has been zealously guarding the storyline of their upcoming thriller. But that hasn't stopped us from laying our hands on a novella titled An Act of Providence, which our sources say could be the main inspiration behind this film.
The novella, penned by Joseph Payne Brennan and Donald M Grant, released in 1979 and is set in 1975 in Rhode Island.

Our source points out, `One can't help but notice certain similarities both the respective protagonists Inspector Shekhawat and Lucius Leffing are investigating a crime incident that takes place in and around a water body and both the protagonists are undergoing a personal crisis at the time of investigating their cases.`
Director Reema Kagti however refutes our source's claim.
