When Ram Gopal Varma heard of Qasab’s hanging on Monday morning, he knew he had found a happy ending for his film, The Attacks of 26/11.

“Varma had planned to end the film with Qasab in jail, serving his death sentence. But now the film ends with a truly happy ending — something Bollywood audiences love — that of the hanging of Qasab,” a source close to the director revealed.
