Producers of 498A: The Wedding Gift maintain that the story of the film is not based on a real incident.[citation needed] However, the motion picture is said to be inspired by the death of Syed Makhdoom, a Canadian national and a computer engineer by profession, who ended his life on 5 April 2009 in Bangalore, leaving four suicide notes and a dying video message on his mobile phone.
