Any story that makes it way to the public domain can be used for inspiration.They made some minor changes to the story like the background of the protagonist, the romantic interest, the very tumultuous relationship with the father, the climax etc. to technically call it fiction. It is, hence, allowed.
For e.g. Not many people knew about the Nanawati case in India until Akshay made RUSTOM on it.
The girl in question is now a felon and was an adult at the time of doing the crime so her identity has never been held from the world. In fact, CCTV footage/pictures of her are all over the web.The damage is done.
Unfortunate story of her life but it's so bizzare that it's intriguing.She is still serving her sentence.
I hope you watch the movie, now that you have followed the true story, you'd like it ;)
