Is ‘Bewakoofiyan’ based on true events?

Actor Singer  Ayushmann Khurana’s upcoming film, ‘Bewakoofiyaan’, depictsa him as an  as an official with an airline company who loses his job due to retrenchment. The plot of the movie is somewhat related to tru life accounts that had taken place a few years back. It seems that Ayushmann’s character is inspired by the life of one of the scores of employees of Kingfisher Airlines who were fired some years ago.

According to sources , ‘Bewakoofiyaan’  is apparently centered around Ayushmaan character and the problems he faces post his job loss from the airline company due to  retrenchment. One of the promos currently on air hints that the film touches upon all that happened to the employees after they were thrown out of their jobs by the Kingfisher airline. Similarly “Kingfisher’s retrenchment saw thousands of people lose their jobs. This was followed by widespread protests across India. Even in the film, there’s a scene where a lot of employees are shown protesting and going on hunger strikes.”

Sources further added that the films character derives inspiration from real-life. “Ayushmann Khurrana’s character works in an airline office and he then loses his job.”
