When directors base reel characters on real lives, it involves immense research. Be it Ashutosh Gowariker’s planning for Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey or Rajkumar Gupta’s research on the life of Jessica Lall for No One Killed Jessica.
So is Nikhil Advani the latest director to join the bandwagon? In Advani’s next, Patiala House, Akshay Kumar plays an aspiring cricketer whose character is supposedly based on Monty Panesar’s life, the first Sikh to represent England in cricket.
Nikhil clarifies, “Every piece of art and the creative process is inspired by real life. We did a lot of research on the lives of cricketers for Patiala House,” and adds, “Akshay’s character is not inspired by one person.”
