Akshay Kumar-starrer Rustom is based on naval commander K M Nanavati, who shot dead his best friend Prem Ahuja, when he discovered his wife Sylvia cheating on him with Prem. The crime of passion rocked Mumbai in 1959.

Rustom will give Akshay a chance to explore the darker side of heroism. But Soni Razdan is also making a film based on the same real-life crime with Ali Fazal in the naval officer’s role.

In Soni Razdan’s film Love Affair which Pooja Bhatt produced, Ali Fazal plays the naval officer. Though Rustom started much later, it is most likely to release long before Love Affair.
