" Director Reema Kagti has insisted that Talaash is not inspired by a novel.  It has been suggested that the film - a psychological thriller starring Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji - bears strong similarities to the crime thriller Act of Providence, a novella written by Joseph Payne Brennan and Donald M Grant in 1975, with the story set in Rhode Island. Speaking to Mid Day, Kagti said: &amp;quot;I have no knowledge of the book nor is my film any way inspired by it. I guess these theories started floating because the working title of my film was Act of Providence for two years before we switched to Talaash.&amp;quot; Describing the film as a suspense drama, Kagti refuted suggestions that the film&amp;#039;s lead actor Khan had altered the script.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s totally false. We went with whatever we had on our final script. There was no tweaking done whatsoever,&amp;quot; he said. In a recent interview, Khan also refuted similarities with any other source and suggested that false rumours were being circulated about the film.  Talaash releases on November 30.
