According to a source close to the film, the film is inspired by ‘Money Heist’. Yes you read it right 

“It’s a typical Atlee film with all the commercial trappings in the screenplay. While there are ample twists and turns in the narrative, one of the sub-plots is inspired by Money Heist.

“In a key juncture, the negative character of SRK assembles a team and organises the biggest bank heist one has ever heard off. The character on other side of law is essentially a robber by profession, but with a strong backstory,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.

The plot of the story revolves around the face-off between the two characters of Shah Rukh Khan, the second being that of a cop/special agent.

“There are many other facets to the screenplay of Atlee’s next and the heist is just tip of the iceberg in terms of surprise elements. Get ready to witness the biggest Masala entertainers in today’s time,” the source further told us.

The entire screenplay  of the film has been developed by Atlee himself with his team of writers. The creative team of Red Chillies too was involved closely in the script development process.

The movie also stars Sunil Grover in a pivotal role.

For the unversed, SRK’s Red Chillies at one point in time was toying with the idea of remaking ‘Money Heist’ in Hindi in collaboration with Netflix.
