I am really keen to show maria susairaj the film on the basis of, like I always maintained that it has been inspired from her story (sic)," Varma posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.
Maria, who was sentenced to three years in jail by a Mumbai court for destroying evidence in the May 2008 killing of television executive Neeraj Grover, was released from jail last month. Her co-accused and fiance, ex-naval officer Emile Jerome Mathew was sentenced to 10 years` jail term.
