Based on truths.

The story: In the 70s, South Asian Somen "Steve" Banerjee was working at a gas station in L.A.

But he wanted to be a businessman who made a lot of money.

After 7 years of saving up almost all of the small amounts of cash he made, he decided to buy a dying club and turn it into a bar/backgammon club. But that just wasn't working.

On an off night in 1979, Banerjee met Paul Snider, who was a club promoter.

Snider befriended Banerjee simply by telling him all about his and his wife Dorothy Stratten's friendship with Hugh Hefner, which fascinated Banerjee as he aspired to be rich and famous just like Hefner.

Soon, the two men brainstormed the club as a strip club for women, and that's when Chippendales was born.

It did well at first, but when Emmy-award-winning choreographer Nick De Noia was thrown into the mix, the club really took off.

Soon, many problems arose. From Banerjee's constant jealousy of De Noia's fame over his work with the club, to rival male stripclub openings, and finally to the club being shut down by the L.A. fire department due to the club being overloaded, causing the fire exits to be blocked off.

All that Banerjee ever wanted was accomplished, but his control issues and fierce neglect for the law finally caught up with him.
