The movie is
conceptualized from a real-life daring heist on a prominent Jeweler in Mumbai,
India on 19-March-1987. An unknown man posing as CBI officer Mon Singh,
recruited 26 men posing as income tax officers, masterminded & executed a
daylight income tax raid on the Opera House branch of a jeweler “Tribhovandas
Bhimji Zaveri” and disappeared with a big haul of jewelry. The incident shocked
jewelers across Zaveri Bazaar in Mumbai and the police were unable to apprehend
any suspect. Folklore is that the unknown con-man was Natwarlal, who sold
iconic national monuments like “Taj Mahal, Red Fort & Rashtrapati
Bhavan” to unsuspecting investors. Natwarlal a master of disguises,
used many aliases and novel ideas to cheat a number of industrialists.
Till the very end no one was able to catch him and remains a mystery even in
his death.
