ATM theft eerily similar to Prithviraj's Robinhood!

The ATM theft masterminded by a group of Romanians in Kerala has baffled the police as well as the public, as such a method has never been used in our state. The theives fitted a skimmer device in an ATM counter in Trivandrum and looted nearly Rs 3 lakh from ATMs in Mumbai from the accounts of people here.
Eerily enough, the method bears a close resemblance to the modus operandi of Prithviraj's character in Robinhood, who is a techwizard and ATM burglar.However, apparently, the films makers claimed that they had no clue if the method was feasible or not, and just worked out something which looked believable with the help of a friend.
