But, the credibility of the leaked synopsis is not revealed yet. However, Twitterati has discovered similarities between the narrative and Shah Rukh Khan's recently released movie Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand.

Mohanlal fans support Ram
However, Mohanlal supporters now support their idol's dream project by pointing out that most of the world's most famous espionage thrillers have extremely similar narrative lines. "All spy movies have operatives who go rouge. They contain nothing new except for the presentation, which makes all the difference "a user wrote. "For those who say it's the storyline of Pathaan, virtually every Mission Impossible movie has a similar premise - it doesn't really matter as long as the execution is distinct and fantastic," another moviegoer remarked. However, Ram's creators have yet to respond to these charges.
