However, Phusukh Wangdu in the film is not a biopic of real-life Sonam Wangchuk. Wangchuck once said that the film's character is just an inspiration from him and not his entire life story.

Even though Sonam Wangchuk has guided several initiatives, it was first regarded and taken into distinction by the film 3 Idiots in 2009. There's more to this inventor educationist. 

Wangchuk is the patron of the Student Educational and Cultural Movement in Ladakh. It was instituted in 1988 by a group of scholars. The entire institute is planned with solar energy and utilizes no fossil fuel for cooking, lighting or heating.
