Anupam Kher plays Suresh Kalmadi in Atul Agnihotri's O Teri?

O Teri, being presented by Salman Khan, seems to have a lot in common with the Commonwealth Games scam. Reports suggest that Anupam Kher's role in the film is 'inspired' by then minister Suresh Kalmadi.

Anupam Kher's role in O Teri is inspired by Suresh Kalmadi's life, sources claim.

Produced by Atul Agnihotri, O Teri is a satire which is ostensibly based on Commonwealth Games (CWG) scam.

The Pulkit Samrat, Bilal Amrohi-starrer, based on real life events, is the story of two journalists doing ordinary stories, facing the pressures of life when a quirky turn of events changes their lives.

Suresh Kalmadi was the chairperson of the organising committee of Commonwealth Games in 2010. He was charged with cheating and causing a loss of more than Rs 90 crore to the exchequer. The Congress leader was later arrested.

Presented by , O Teri is scheduled to release on March 28.
