Bhoot: Part One inspired by a true event 

The film reportedly is said to be inspired by MV Wisdom, a cargo ship that was found stranded on Juhu Beach in 2011. Stating that the event is the 'germ' of the film, the actor informed that when MV Wisdom sailed into the beach, Bhanu (the role he is portraying in the film) was the man who was standing in a rickshaw quite intrigued and then decided to go on to the beach and pictures of the abandoned ship. 

For some background, MV Wisdom surfaced on the Juhu Beach in 2011. It was under tow from Colombo to Gujarat when the Towline broke and it was stranded on the beach. Reportedly, it remained there for three weeks until it was towed away after a few days.
