"The story is not based on Salman Khan's accident, but there is a reference to Salman Khan incident," Nair said.
Nair informs that it is based on a real incident that happened in the US.
"There was an incident similar to the plot of the film that happened in the US. The incident was that a woman hit a man then drove home and parked the car in the garage with the man wedged halfway through her windshield," he said.
"There is already a film on this incident and we have adapted from it. We bought its rights," he added.
Asked how is it different from the original film, he said: "It shows what a person originally does if he meets or sees an accident - either he calls police or just passes by as if nothing has happened or tries to help the victim. The film portrays realistic angles."
Talking about Salman's incident, he said: "From the Salman Khan incident I have taken that some people do severe accidents, but nothing happens to them and they resume a normal life."
Celina Jaitley, Abhimanyu Singh and Farooq Shaikh play lead roles in the film. Made on a shoestring budget, the film will release Dec 31.
