Life and art imitate each other, and this could be corroborated by the recently released Dulquer Salmaan-starrer crime drama Lucky Baskhar. As per media reports, four school going kids in Andhra Pradesh have gone missing after watching the film. It’s stated that the kids were motivated by the film to leave their homes in search of money and fortune.

The kids reportedly told their friends that they would return only after earning money and cars like the character of Bhaskar does in the film. The four kids are identified as Charan Teja, Raghu, Karthik, and Kiran Kumar who are all studying in 9th grade. They all stay at a hostel in Maharanipet in Vizag. They were amused by the film to the degree that they all decided to earn money like the way the hero does in this film. The four came up with a plan to escape from the hostel and also got successful pulling it off.

CCTV footage from the hostel captured the boys climbing over the gate and fleeing. The distraught parents approached the local police, who filed a missing persons report. 

Later in the day, another media report informed that the boys were rescued by police at Vijayawada railway station. Three boys are in ninth standard, and one is in eighth standard. The boys scaled the hostel gate carried Rs 3600 in cash. One of the boys carried Rs 12000 cash, out of which he paid Rs 8000 in fees, and took the rest of the money when he left the hostel.
