A source adds, “They were completely surprised to read about the film in the news.
An insider says, “Akshay will be seen using a lot of aliases in the film. His character is the master of disguises and uses novel ideas to dupe people. And like Natwarlal, he too cheats industrialists and rich people,” adding, “If you make a film on a conman in India, you’re bound to be inspired by Natwarlal.”u00a0In 1979, the conman’s story had also inspired an Amitabh Bachchan-starrer, Mr Natwarlal.
