It takes viewers back to Bollywood hitPardes (1997), in which Shah Rukh Khan had encountered an almost similar situation.
About the show being inspired by the film, the actor says, "Well, it could be the case, but it is not only Pardes. It could also be Kal Ho Na Ho and Rajesh Khanna's character in Anand, because I play someone who laughs at life's adversities."
We hear Shakti has also shot for a fire sequence where he saves the girl he loves. He quips, "Yes, and that was shot in true Shah Rukh Khan style."
