The character played by Rohini is inspired by Uma Bharti. Rohini plays a Hindu hardliner in the film, who believes that Catholics convert Hindu followers into Christianity, a controversial issue over the years.&rdquo; The informer adds, &ldquo;Uma too has a similar point of view. In fact, a very high-profile case about a priest being burnt in Orissa has also been integrated into the story line. The title role played by Vinay Virmani&rsquo;s character sees this from the outside and is stunned at the ferocity of religious emotions.&rdquo; The film&rsquo;s producers remained unavailable for comment. u00a0
