Ajay Devgan to pull an Amitabh Bachchan in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai

Ajay Devgan will sport an all white look in his upcoming thriller Once Upon a Time In Mumbaai, inspired by Amitabh Bachchan's iconic Deewar look.

Confirms director Milan Luthria "I happened to see Deewaar and loved Amitji's all-white look when he goes for his father's funeral in the film. I realized that the look would work for Ajay as he looks good in white. Ajay wears white throughout the film. It gives him a different identity."

The team had to go through a grueling 37 costume changes that reflected the classic style of the 1970's before settling on the "all white" look for Ajay.

Balaji and Milan Luthria's Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai promises to be a super-entertaining rewind to the era of romance, smuggling, cabaret and the mafia.

The film set in the 1970's sees lead actor Ajay Devgn play a character much inspired by the infamous Haji Mastan don. The film follows the rise of Sultan (Ajay Devgn), and the conflict, when his protégé Shoaib (Emraan Hashmi), challenges his supremacy, and usurps power to rule the murky underbelly of Mumbai.

Kangana Ranaut, who plays Bollywood diva Rehana in the film, will be seen in 1970s Bollywood and Hollywood look. Her role is rumored to be inspired by Madhubala with whom Haji was in love. He was devastated with the actress' tragic death in the mid 60s.

The film is due in theaters on July 30.
