Aamir Khan and company has been zealously guarding the storyline of their upcoming thriller. But that hasn’t stopped us from laying our hands on a novella titled An Act of Providence, which our sources say could be the main inspiration behind this film. The novella, penned by Joseph Payne Brennan and Donald M Grant, released in 1979 and is set in 1975 in Rhode Island.
