Many movies have inspirational stories. But a movie or rather a scene from it, inspired a man to turn into a con artiste. He was arrested at the Mumbai international airport on Sunday after a man he had cheated earlier saw him trying to dupe another.

The Tamil film Soorarai Pottru, is about a man, played by actor Suriya, who starts a low cost airline. In the scene in which the actor in tears, tries in vain to ask passengers for money at an airport, as he is falling short to pay for a ticket to go see his ailing father, 22-year-old Andhra Pradesh resident, Srinivas, found 'his calling'.
