Real-life incident that inspired Kill

During a conversation with ANI, he said, ¡°There was an incident with me in 1994-95. I was travelling by train. At that time I used to live in Patna and I used to study in Pune. So the journey was almost 36-40 hours long. And I had to do this 3-4 times a year. I had to travel. So, there was Bombay Janta Express. I boarded the train at 11.30 in the night. And at 7.30-8 in the morning, I reached Prayagraj.¡±

He added, ¡°The train reached there. And it was cold. So, I boarded and went to sleep. And when I woke up in the morning, I thought that Allahabad must have come. When I looked outside, it was very dark. Because it was winter time. And when I looked, there were a lot of police. When I came out, I came to know that 25-30 dacoits were looting the 2nd AC coach at night, which was right next to mine.¡±

He continued, ¡°I was a student at that time. I didn¡¯t know if I had to appear in films or not. But I think that incident stayed with me. Somewhere in my mind, it just remained with me. And in 2016, I wrote this story.¡±
