The serial killer notorious as `Cyanide Mohan` have not escaped people familiar with the real-life story
Sonakshi Sinha and Vijay Varma in the upcoming Prime Video series `Dahaad`
The uncanny similarities between Anand Swarnakar, Vijay Varma`s evil character in the web series `Dahaad`, and the serial killer notorious as `Cyanide Mohan` have not escaped people familiar with the real-life story. What`s striking, though, is the silence of the `Dahaad` makers -- Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti`s Excel Entertainment -- on the inspiration for the show.
Mohan Kumar Vivekanand, aka `Cyanide Mohan`, was a soft-spoken physical education teacher between 1980 and 2003 before his arrest at his home village outside Mangaluru, Karnataka, in 2009. In `Dahaad`, Anand Swarnakar teaches Hindi in a women`s college in Rajasthan. But that is where the dissimilarities end.
