It was Anil who told Subhashji the story idea for 'Yuvvraaj',' a source told IANS.
If sources are to be believed Anil's reference point in 'Yuvvraaj' is Tom Hanks in 'Forrest Gump'.
This isn't the first time that Anil is playing an autistic role. In K. Vishwanath's 'Eeshwar' too he was cast as a slow, saintly man who wins over a village widow. Anil has self-admittedly copied Raj Kapoor in 'Eeshwar'.
