Confirming that the movie is loosely based on Sreesanth's life, Sajan says, "In Sreesanth's case, a role model for young aspiring crickets has been destroyed. It's a blessing to reach the heights he had in Indian cricket, but to squander it all for greed... there's no one else to blame but himself." (BCCL/Sanjay Sekhri)
