Buzz is, the film draws heavily from the
1959 murder
A day before his birthday, Akshay
Kumar announced that he will be
joining hands with Neeraj Pandey on
a film titled Rustom!
Now, 9xe has learnt that the film is
based on the 1959 Nanavati case
where naval officer Kavas
Maneckshaw Nanavati was tried for
the murder of his wife's lover, Prem
Ahuja.
Akshay, we hear, will play Rustom,
the man who is tried for the murder
of his wife's lover. "The movie draws
from the Nanavati case but it will be
dramatised to a considerable extent,"
says a source.
The movie will be directed by Neeraj's
assistant Tinu Desai. Besides
producing it, Neeraj will also be
penning the dialogue and co-writing
the screenplay along with Vipul
Rawal.
Interestingly, Soni Razdan's Love
Affair, starring Gulshan Devaiah and
Kalki Koechlin, is also based on the
Nanavati murder.https://www.9xe.com/7546
